The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the UN General Assembly on Thursday, 13 September 2007 with 144 votes in favor. There were also 11 abstentions and 34 non-voting states, with four settler colonial states initially voting against the Declaration: The United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The declaration consists of a preamble listing 24 notes (emphasizing, recognizing, encouraging, etc.), followed by 46 articles outlining Indigenous rights.

As summarized by the United Nations:

Today the Declaration is the most comprehensive international instrument on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. It establishes a universal framework of minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of the Indigenous Peoples of the world and it elaborates on existing human rights standards and fundamental freedoms as they apply to the specific situation of Indigenous Peoples.[1]
