DENMARK CONTRIBUTES TO OAS EFFORTS ON RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
February 9, 2007
The government of Denmark has announced a contribution of nearly (US)$670,000 to the Organization of American States (OAS) to support initiatives by the Office of the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, part of the Inter-American Commission on Human rights (IACHR).
Denmark’s Permanent Observer to the OAS, Ambassador Friis Arne Peterson, made the announcement during a meeting at OAS headquarters with Secretary General José Miguel Insulza. They discussed a range of issues related to human rights, in particular the situation of indigenous peoples across the Americas and the importance of gender issues.
Secretary General Insulza expressed deep appreciation for the generous contribution by the Danish government and stressed the need to focus on the rights of groups that have been marginalized by society. In response to a question from the Danish envoy, Insulza explained that poverty is the greatest challenge facing indigenous peoples in the hemisphere. He added that in many countries, other marginalized groups such as Afro-descendants are among the most vulnerable and most likely to live in poverty. That is part of why the OAS places such emphasis on human rights, Insulza explained.
Denmark obtained permanent observer status with the OAS in October 2000, and has supported a variety of OAS programs over the years, notably in the areas of human rights, democracy, the rights of indigenous peoples, election observation in member states and the OAS Peace Fund.
Also in attendance at the meeting was IACHR Executive Secretary Santiago Canton, among other OAS General Secretariat officials.
