The personal data of participants applying for, registering for or participating in UNITAR's training courses and other events is governed by the Data Protection and Privacy Policy. By applying for, registering for or participating in this event, the participant acknowledges that he or she is, (or they are) aware of the policy and agree to its terms.

This will be an interactive training workshop to introduce United Nations diplomats, staff, and attendees of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to the theory and practice of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) for Indigenous Peoples as outline in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

The workshop will introduce participants to the history and theory of FPIC, detail its place in UNDRIP, and introduce dialogue skills for the practice of FPIC. The workshop will present case studies and examples of FPIC in the real-world. It will employ small group discussion, interactive exercises, and large group analysis to improve the participants understanding of FPIC and the interaction between U.N. member states and Indigenous Nations. The workshop will culminate in the participants acting out a full-scale simulated, facilitated negotiation between a U.N. member state and an Indigenous Nation.

This project will leave the participants with a deeper understanding of FPIC and UNDRIP. It will also help participants better understand how to engage in dialogue with Indigenous Peoples.

The workshop will be held Wednesday, April 19th at the United Nations during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues from 10am – 1pm.

The project staff will include:

  • The Honorable Judge Shawn Watts, District Court Judge for the Prairie Band Potawatomie Nation, Director of the Tribal Judicial Support Clinic at the University of Kansas School of Law, and Director of U.S. Strategy at The Christensen Fund.
  • Lee Rea and Sarah Han, Columbia Law School Mediation Clinic students.
