Initial Draft Resolution is now referred to Global Greens Coordination for further administration:

”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 Tribal Peoples 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.]”

REASON

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.
