The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is an advisory body established in 2000 to address the concerns of indigenous peoples worldwide. It provides a platform for indigenous representatives to discuss issues related to their rights, culture, and development, and to influence policies at the international level. The forum meets annually at the United Nations headquarters in New York, bringing together indigenous leaders, government officials, and civil society. Its main objectives include promoting the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and fostering partnerships to support indigenous communities in achieving sustainable development.
