Congolese Law on indigenous peoples' rights translated into English

On the 30th December 2010 the Parliament adopted a law for the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples in the Republic of Congo. This law is the first of its kind in Africa, and its adoption is a historic development for indigenous peoples on the continent. It is hoped that this law will be a source of inspiration for other countries in Africa to take similar initiatives, IWGIA therefore welcomes the translation of the law into English.
