Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

The text (pdf) is here in English, and if you change the last letter in the URL to any of A, C, F, R, or S, in Arabic, Chinese (simplified), French, Russian and Spanish.

UN Member States voting against: The former colonies of England in the Americas and the South Pacific.

UN Member States active in promoting the DRIP: The former colonies of Spain and Portugal in the Americas.

The politics of the vote was the change of position of France to "oui" under Chirac, who actually had some personal views on the rights of indigenous peoples, and the cooperation between the African Group and the Latin American Group of member states. Eleven UN Member States abstained, and no Indigenous Government was allowed to vote.

We're now offering civicrm in drupal, joomla!, and standalone configurations, as well as MediaWiki, JSPWiki and Xwiki, as well as the blog standards: MovableType and WordPress. If you have an electoral candidate or issue campaign you'd like to have done by non-nonsense pros who've flesh in the game, or delight in web 2.0 tech, drop Eric a line.
