Indigenous Peoples Diplomacy at the UN: A Historical and Contemporary Perspective

On August 27, the American Bar Association’s United Nations Representatives Committee (ABA UNR) hosted the webinar, Indigenous Peoples’ Diplomacy at the UN: A Historical and Contemporary Perspective. Indigenous Peoples have engaged with international legal forums since their advent, continuously pressing for recognition and protection of Indigenous rights. Relatedly, the ABA has a long history of participation in and advocacy for international affairs and of supporting Indigenous rights. However, it was not until the 2007 adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that Indigenous rights attained formal articulation within the UN. This webinar traced that historical progression to today through the insights of some of the most highly visible and respected legal advocates on Indigenous issues. Speakers Opening Remarks: Linda Benally, ABA UNR Committee Moderator: Lauren van Schilfgaarde, Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of the Native Nations Law and Policy Center, UCLA School of Law Kristen Carpenter, Council Tree Professor of Law and Director of the American Indian Law Program, University of Colorado Law School Karla General, Associate Legal Counsel, Seneca Nation Aaron Jones, Natural and Cultural Resources Director, Tulalip Tribes Closing Remarks: Paulette Brown, Chair of the ABA UNR Committee (2025-2026) and Past ABA President (2015-2016)
