One year ago, on December 15, 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would “lend its support” to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. “The aspiration it affirms,” he said, “including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of Native peoples, are one we must always seek to fulfill.”
In the shadow of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, many people failed to recognize another significant event. Four years ago, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly signed into existence the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

If the CRMA is not implemented to uphold Indigenous Peoples' rights to self-determination and Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), Indigenous Peoples' rights violations will escalate in the EU and around the world.
The 5th AMARC Asia-Pacific Regional Conference in Bangkok united over 150 participants from 18 countries to celebrate the power of community radio. During the four-day conference, participants shared experiences and lessons culminating in the Bangkok Declaration, which urges collaboration among community radio, regional bodies, and the UN, highlighting the role of community radio in achieving democracy and realizing Indigenous rights.
Today, we celebrate the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. Every day, we honor the sovereignty, richness, and beauty of Indigenous Peoples, languages, and lifeways.
