Our online documentation

Docip has digitized in text format more than 10,000 records of its extensive documentation collection: historical documents, major reports, statements of indigenous delegates and other international or governmental actors at international conferences, various resolutions of the General Assembly, symposium documents, international legal instruments, etc.

The aim of Docip's publications is to provide exhaustive, continuous, impartial and neutral information on Indigenous issues at the international level. They are published in four languages – English, Spanish, French and Russian – to make information as accessible as possible to Indigenous communities worldwide. Their purpose is to give readers the tools needed to follow and engage in discussions related to the recognition of Indigenous Peoples' issues and rights in the international arena. The publications aim also more broadly to raise awareness of Indigenous Rights and the issues faced by Indigenous Peoples on a larger scale and thus reach a larger public, notably through Docip's Newsletter 'Update'. Content is based on official UN documents and other documents from Indigenous Peoples, such as Statements made during International Conferences.
