On August 28, Canada’s Justice Department released the fifth annual progress report under its statute called the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The statute requires the federal government, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples, to take measures necessary to make Canadian laws consistent with UNDRIP. The report covers implementation of a 181-measure Action Plan and includes an Indigenous-led Action Plan Advisory Committee.
The report is interesting because it shows how five years after Canada made UNDRIP implementation a matter of federal law, it exposes what legal implementation actually requires, and where it breaks down.
