Support the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Canada
The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is the most comprehensive international human rights instrument to specifically address Indigenous Peoples’ economic, social, cultural, political, civil, spiritual and environmental rights. In its own words, the Declaration sets out minimum standards necessary for the “dignity, survival and well-being” of Indigenous Peoples.
In December 2020, The Government of Canada introduced Bill C-15, an act to implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Presbyterian Church in Canada is working with other faith organizations in support of Bill C-15.
