Aide Memoire |
| |
Post Date: 7 May '07 |
| |
After the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was submitted in June 2006 to the UN General Assembly in New York for final adoption, the Republic of Namibia tabled this ‘aide memoire’ to the Africa Group (the African caucus of diplomats). It suggests that the adoption of the Declaration would be unconstitutional in Africa and would cause a great deal of ethnic conflict and the risk of secession. The Africa Group of states in the General Assembly voted in solidarity, with the support of the Caribbean states, to delay adoption of the Declaration until further consultations had taken place within the 2007 session of the General Assembly. See the news article UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples delayed by the Africa Group for more information on the status of the Declaration. |
