I am writing on behalf of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO), an international, nonviolent, and democratic membership organisation based in The Hague, the Netherlands. Its members are indigenous peoples, minorities, and unrecognised or occupied territories who have joined together to protect and promote their human and cultural rights, to preserve their environments, and to find nonviolent solutions to conflicts which affect them.
We work very hard to give voice to people who are not represented in international fora such as UN meetings, both in publishing daily news articles from around the world and providing a platform for them to speak in high level conferences.
Each Member remains committed to respecting the five principles enshrined in the UNPO Covenant: nonviolence, human rights, democracy and self-determination, environmental protection, and tolerance.
I note your active interest in the issues that preoccupy the UNPO and our members and would like to draw your attention to our website which outlines our current campaigns and activities: http://www.unpo.org
