The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (A/RES/61/295) is a United Nations resolution passed in 2007. The only countries that voted against it were the settler-colonial states of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.[1] The declaration states that indigenous peoples have rights to their land and that treaties should be honored.[2]
