The Permanent Forum urges that discussions at the forthcoming summit to renew the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization, scheduled to be held in Brazil in August 2023, fully involve Indigenous Peoples from the Amazon region in determining a road map that addresses their situation, including cross-border illegal activities and organized crime.
The Permanent Forum is deeply alarmed by the impact of war and armed conflict. The Forum calls upon Member States to impose an immediate moratorium on military conscription among Arctic Indigenous Peoples.
