▪ Seminar on Legal situation, Public Policies, Best Practices and Affirmative Action (Washington DC, January 21, 2011)
The Organization of American States (OAS) hosted the seminar
“Legal Situation, Public Policy, Good Practices and Affirmative
Action”, on Friday, January 21, between 9:00 EST (14:00 GMT) and

Organization’s General Services Building in Washington, DC (1889

The event’s objective was to update indigenous leaders in the
continent on public policies, good practices and affirmative
action, as well as to identify challenges in the implementation
of solutions in areas such as “property, land and resources,”
“free determination, autonomy and self-government” and
“treaties, agreements and constructive agreements.”
The seminar, coordinated by the OAS Department of International
Law, was part of the framework of the “Program of Action of the
OAS Department of International Law on Indigenous Peoples in the
Americas.”
