The Indigenous Peoples Rights International (IPRI) is a legally registered, non-profit global Indigenous Peoples organization that works to protect Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, and unite and amplify the call for justice to victims of criminalization and impunity.
Our Vision
Indigenous Peoples are peacefully exercising their individual and collective rights in their traditional territories, especially their right to self-determination and to their lands, territories and resources, without threat of violence or criminalization.
Our Mission
To lead and coordinate the Global Initiative to Address and Prevent Criminalization, Violence, and Impunity Against Indigenous Peoples towards strengthening their collectives, solidarity, and actions.
2024 in Numbers
In 2019, IPRI was established to lead and coordinate the Global Initiative to Address and Prevent Criminalization, Violence, and Impunity against Indigenous Peoples.
This Initiative is thereby a global effort to be led by Indigenous Peoples leaders and organizations to strengthen coordination, solidarity and actions on this critical issue at all levels to improve the situation of indigenous peoples.
