The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is an international instrument adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2007 establishing global standards for Indigenous peoples' rights. UNDRIP addresses rights to self-determination, culture, identity, language, employment, health, education, and control over traditional lands and resources. Canada initially opposed but later endorsed UNDRIP. In 2021, Canada passed legislation requiring federal laws be consistent with UNDRIP, and British Columbia passed similar provincial legislation. UNDRIP's principle of free, prior, and informed consent for activities affecting Indigenous peoples influences consultation requirements. Implementing UNDRIP involves reviewing existing laws, policies, and practices against Declaration standards. UNDRIP provides a framework for advancing Indigenous rights and reconciliation efforts across all levels of Canadian government.
