The intention behind the
proclamation of 1993 as
United Nations’ Year for the
World'is Indigenous Peoples
were to force the internatio-
nal community to focus on
problems faced by the indi-
genous peoples worldwide.
Indigenous Peoples wanted
the international communi-
ty to make a corporate effort
to find solutions to problems
in areas related to human
rights, the environment,
education and health. An
additional goal was to raise
public awareness about the
worlds’ indigenous cultures
through special national
and international activities.
Whether or not the achie-
vements made during the
year have been satisfactory
to indigenous peoples them-
selves, governments and
non-governmental organi-
zations, the reality is, that
the numerous activities
throughout the world by in-
digenous peoples and go-
vernments have received
considerable attention by
the international media.
A Decade of Indigenous
Peoples Suggested Through
several technical meetings
arranged by the U.N. Centre
for Human Rights in Gene-
va, the indigenous represen-
tatives urged United Na-
tions to extend the interna-
tional year in order to spend
more time solving the pro-
blems faced by the indige-
nous peoples. It was during
these meetings the sugge-
stion to propose an Interna-
tional Decade for the
World’s Indigenous Peoples
was put forward. Consulta-
tions with governments, or-
ganizations, and relevant
bodies such as the World
Conference on Human
Rights reviewed and appro-
ved several sections related
to the indigenous peoples
programme of action of the
Vienna Declaration. The
World Conference have re-
commended the U.N. Gene-
ral Assembly to proclaim an
international decade for the
world’s indigenous peoples
to begin January 1994. The
U.N. General Assembly,
currently in session, appro-
ved a draft resolution on the
decade, suggesting its com-
men- cement December 10,
1994, hence, setting aside
the period January 1 to De-
cember 9 of 1994 for the
planning of the decade in
partnership with indige-
nous peoples.
Action-Oriented
Programmes
The resolution proposed the
goal of the Decade to be the
strengthening of internatio-
nal cooperation in resolving
the problems faced by indi-
genous peoples with réspect
to human rights, the envi-
ronment, development, edu-
cation and health. The reso-
lution addresses the import-
ance of setting up action-ori-
ented programmes during
the planning period. In the
planning and coordination
period, the programme of
activities for the Decade will
be established in full colla-
boration and consultation
with governments, the In-
ternational Labour Organi-
zation, and other specialized
agendes of the United Na-
tions, as well as indigenous
and non-governmental or-
gan izations.
With regards to financing
the Decade, the General As-
sembly will request the Se-
cretary General of United
Nations to establish a Vo-
luntary Fund, and authorize
him to accept and admini-
ster voluntary contributions
from governments, inter-go-
vernmental organizations,
non- governmental organi-
zations, private institutions
and individuals for the pur-
pose of funding projects and
programmes during the De-
cade. The governments and
other relevant bodies are in-
vited to provide additional
resources to finance the at-
tachment of suitable staff,
including indigenous staff,
to the U.N. Centre for Hu-
man Rights.
An important item to be
considered during the Co-
rning year is the proposed
establishment of a perma-
nent forum for indigenous
peoples within the United
Nations system. And the ad-
ditional request to dedicate
one day of every year to be
the International Day for
Indigenous Peoples, begin-
ning with the first year of
the Decade.
