UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: Implementing UNDRIP in Australia – Webinar Recording

This second webinar in the series took place in the lead up to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) in New York with the theme of "Implementing the UNDRIP within United Nations Member States and the United Nations system, including identifying good practices and addressing challenges”.

The webinar helped to build understanding of UNDRIP and the Australian state’s responsibilities for implementing it. The webinar built wider awareness of the rights in UNDRIP and how it is being applied to current processes of truth telling and treaty making in Victoria, Australia. The webinar provided an opportunity to engage with the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, Dr Albert K. Barume, following his recent private visit to Australia, where he met with many representatives of First Nations. The visit was organised by the Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research and Action (FAIRA).
