UNPFII Progress on Recommendations concerning Indigenous Children and Youth – Report August 2012

---

SNAICC, on behalf of the Indigenous Sub Group of the NGO Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child (ISG), has prepared a summary of recommendations of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) concerning Indigenous children and youth, and the status of their implementation. This summary highlights key areas which have received UNPFII attention as well as the invisibility of other fundamental child rights concerns impacting Indigenous children and youth around the world, including in Australia. The summary aims to provide a detailed basis for non-governmental organisations and collectives to lobby UNPFII Members, other UN bodies and their own governments to follow up key recommendations made over the years.
