• EU - Promoting and Protecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
  The development of European Union policy on Indigenous Peoples is relatively recent. The Agenda of the Development Cooperation Group of the Council held on 18 March 1997 mentioned for the very first time the issue ‘Indigenous Peoples’. At its meeting on 5 June 1997, the Development Council invited the European Commission to present a policy paper on EU development policy on indigenous peoples. The Commission is currently preparing a report on the implementation of the Council Resolution that will be available at the beginning of 2002.
