Mission & Goals
IWGIA is a non-governmental human rights organisation promoting and defending Indigenous Peoples’ collective and individual rights. We have supported our partners in this fight for more than 50 years. We work through a global network of Indigenous Peoples’ organisations and international human rights bodies. We promote recognition, respect and implementation of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, including the right to self-determination by virtue of which they can freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
