Statement by Securing Indigenous Rights in the Green Economy Coalition
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.
