Address to the First Session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

Mary Robinson
High Commissioner for Human Rights
Excerpt from the Statement by Mrs. Mary Robinson, High Commissioner for Human Rights:

In discussing the Permanent Forum there is a natural tendency to focus on what the UN system can do for Indigenous Peoples. This is understandable. But I think it is important that we give at least equal weight to what Indigenous Peoples can do for the United Nations.
