United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
On Thursday, the UN General Assembly adopted a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. (Text here.)
Stories here and here. Have you read the Declaration? What do you think? The Declaration was rejected by the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Do you think those countries had valid concerns about the Declaration? If you had a vote, how would you have voted?

The united nations are just one more step towards a one world government. They are a paper tiger with no teeth. All we need now is a one world currency.

A good first step.
it is impossible to deny that Indigenous people should have Rights. The four countries against, profit too much by resisting this to agree willingly.

Never too late to help. From what I've read through the article it's a good step forward.

All the four nations that objected to the declaration is simply because those in power (those in charge of the government) will stand to loose their advantage of money, money, money if the natives are given their right place in these four countries. Majority of those in power are white immigrants who rob the natives of their rights, and will not give up those money they are now having. It is a matter of fight between the have and have not, where the have acquired illegally those things that originally belonging to the have not.

I suppose it'd be ok depending on what they consider "Indigenous Peoples." I haven't had a chance to read it as your link doesn't work, but we'll see.
