"We, as ‘citizens’ of the planet, members of the Global Greens, and First
Nations
Indigenous Tribal Peoples, United in our awareness that the Earth’s vitality,
diversity and beauty has been, and is, the Custodial responsibility of past and
continuing Custodians of First Nations Indigenous TribalPeoples to bequeath the
Planet to the next generations,
Guided by the purposes and principles of the Global Greens Charter,
Recognising the rights of Indigenous People and their contribution to the common
heritage, as well as the right of all minorities and oppressed peoples to their
culture, religion, economic and cultural life,
Hereby resolve that there shall be a GLOBAL FIRST NATIONS (INDIGENOUS, TRIBAL
PEOPLES) NETWORK co-created and re-established as a part of the Global Greens
networks.
[Noting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
(UNDRIP) as adopted by the General Assembly on Thursday, 13 September 2007.]"
Human Rights of First Nations Indigenous Tribal Peoples are confirmed in the United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as adopted
by the General Assembly on Thursday, 13 September 2007. This history is critical as the
Greens Movement look to include all Members from the Indigenous Peoples of their
countries.
• Today the UNDRIP Declaration is the most comprehensive international instrument on the
rights of Indigenous Peoples/First Nations Mobs/all other First Tribal Peoples. It
establishes a universal framework of minimum standards for the survival, dignity and wellbeing
of the Indigenous Peoples of the world and it elaborates on existing human rights
standards and fundamental freedoms as they apply to the specific situation of Indigenous
Peoples.
• As a Greens movement we will look to co-create and collaborate an Indigenous policy that
best reflect the Indigenes today, Indigenous issues at local level, key priorities at regional
levels (across our Federations) and a sustainable agenda at a global level.
• We duly acknowledge the Blak Greens of the Australian Greens as reinvigorating this
Human Rights discussion for all First Nations and Indigenous Tribal Peoples, progressing
the previous work of Keli Yen and the Taiwan Greens, and the Asia Pacific, African ,
Maori>Aotearoa, Greens Federations support on the decolonizing sessions held during the
Global Greens Online Conference that added to the momentum to continue this Global
Greens First Nations Indigenous Tribal Peoples Network, Thank You.
