United Nations (Geneva) – The United Confederation of Taino People (UCTP) and the Caribbean Amerindian Development Organization (CADO) submitted a report to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Francisco Cali Tzay (Maya). The Special Rapporteur issued a call for submissions earlier this year and will present his report to the 75th session of the General Assembly in October 2020.
The joint UCTP/CADO submission is posted on the webpage of the Special Rapporteur and highlighted that “Indigenous Peoples are largely invisible in the insular Caribbean and there are no measures that have been taken to protect the lands, territories, and resources of indigenous peoples against invasions and land-grabbing by external actors during the pandemic,” among other issues.
