Docip's Weekly News No. 258

Dear Friend,
Next week will be a busy one for defenders of Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples Rights: The High-level political Forum on sustainable development, the Human Rights Council, and the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples will require your attention and your collaboration. Meanwhile four out of ten deadlines in our list below will expire next week.
So you'd better get some rest and do some sports before getting confined again in front of your computer!
But first of all, I wish you a pleasant reading of our newsletter.
Warm regards,
Pascal
