Re: UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
A nearly random choice:
Quote:
Article 7
1. Indigenous individuals have the rights to life, physical and mental integrity, liberty and security of person.
2. Indigenous peoples have the collective right to live in freedom, peace and security as distinct peoples and shall not be subjected to any act of genocide or any other act of violence, including forcibly removing children of the group to another group.

If this is demanded for and Indian, it is called a right. If it is demanded for a European, then it is called racism.
We should look into this charter with much attention. I think that much of what we demand is included there.
