Fight against violation of indigenous rights is a priority globally and in Guyana

Envoys of key Western missions here have said that that the fight against discrimination, marginalisation and violations of Indigenous rights, is a global priority and also in Guyana. 

In a message to mark International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples today, the envoys here of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and the European Union (EU) said “Together we must also acknowledge that the fight against discrimination, marginalisation, and violations of Indigenous rights, is a global priority, also in Guyana. We must work in collaboration to prevent exploitation of their land and natural resources. Their leadership in this endeavour must also be recognised”.
