▪ Working
Group
In 1999, the Organization of American States (OAS)
established a [Working
Group to Prepare the Proposed American Declaration on the
Rights of Indigenous Peoples] (“the Working Group”),
attached to the Committee on Juridical and Political
Affairs.
Successive [resolutions] have renewed the Group’s mandate
and called for the Declaration to be adopted by the relevant
body.
All member states may participate on the Working Group as
voting members [1]. Its
sessions, which are open to the public, begin in August and
end in April of the following year, and are held at OAS
headquarters in Washington, D.C.
