RIGHTS AIPP
AIPP Regional Capacity Building Program - Training Manual on the UNDRIP
National judicial processes and human rights mechanisms, as well as international human rights mechanisms are possible venues for monitoring implementation of laws or legal reforms
on the right to land, territory and resources.
This implies the need for strong national-level advocacy and lobby groups, e.g. national alli- ances of indigenous organizations, as well as the continuous presence of indigenous representa-
tives in the various processes within the United Nations.
