Published 3 years ago
Description
The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is underway in New York, in April 2023. The first meeting of the Permanent Forum was held in May 2002, with yearly sessions thereafter. The Forum usually meets for 10 days each year, at the UN Headquarters in New York. According to the ECOSOC resolution E/2000/22, the Forum may also meet at the UN Office in Geneva or at such other place that it decides. Cultural Survival attended the permanent forum in April 2023, and spoke to some of the delegates who attended.
