The United Nations Permanent Forum on
Indigenous Issues is an advisory body to the Economic and Social Council
with a
mandate to discuss indigenous issues related to: Economic and Social Development
Culture
Environment
Education
Health
Human Rights
We wish to
acknowledge the important work of
doCip in their support, training and
documentation with/and for Indigenous Peoples and their supporters
over many years. doCip is a Swiss NGO linking Indigenous Peoples and
the United Nations. Dialogue Between Nations is listed with doCip
within their Regional List of Websites on Indigenous Issues.
doCip Indigenous Peoples' Center for
Documentation, Research and Information, the Indigenous Rights
Documentation Network and other contributers have created an
extensive
Indigenous Thesaurus of Human Rights Terms.

Ms. Pierrette Birraux-Ziegler, Scientific Director,
Indigenous Peoples' Center for Documentation,
Research and Information (doCip)
We are interested in
developing an interactive component based upon the work of these
organizations which might assist visitors to the Dialogue Between
Nations web site in their understanding of the work of the United
Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and their mandated
themes.
We have created a pilot example in order to demonstrate
possibilities of how this Thesaurus might serve as an index to
direct individuals to issues and special programs located on our
pages. Please click on the
Human Rights link to access some of Dialogue
Between Nations content through the Thesaurus menu.
Additional
content related to the above issues can be accessed through the Dialogue
Between Nations
Site Map.
