Registration Now Open for the Expert Group Meeting: The Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including those in voluntary isolation and initial contact in the context of the extraction of critical minerals

Registration is now open for the Expert Group Meeting.

Every year, the Indigenous Peoples and Development Branch within the Division for Inclusive Social Development of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs organizes an international expert group meeting (EGM) on a theme recommended by the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and endorse by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

In its twenty-third session in 2024, the Permanent Forum recommended the theme of the EGM, "The Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including those in voluntary isolation and initial contact in the context of the extraction of critical minerals". 

The EGM will be held virtually online between 2-4 December 2024.
