Call to Action # 43: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (43-44)

Federal-Provincial-Territorial Ministers Responsible for Human Rights

December 12, 2017

Leaders of the AFN, the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council attended a meeting of the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Ministers Responsible for Human Rights. This was the first meeting of Ministers responsible for human rights since 1988. One focus area was the need for all jurisdictions to implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and that all governments have a role in this work. Going forward, there is a need for full inclusion of Indigenous peoples and leadership in these meetings.
