UN DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Did anyone hear that Canada and the Russian Federation were the only 2 countries out of 47 that voted against the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples!
29th of June, the Human Rights Council adopted by a roll-call vote of 30 in favour to 2 against and 12 abstentions a resolution on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
What is up with that! Have i been living under a rock or something? Canada was apparently integral in the drafting of this document. Anyway I can’t seem to find details as to why the Gov voted against this! Does anyone else know?
