Country Visits
UNSRRIP Mandate holders carry out country visits to assess the situation of indigenous peoples rights at the national level : at the request of a mandate-holder, the Government sends an invitation for a fact-finding mission. During such missions, the expert assess the indigenous peoples rights situation in a given country, as well as the specific institutional, legal, judicial, administrative and de facto situation under the UNSRRIP mandate. UNSRRIP meets with national and local authorities, including members of the judiciary and parliamentarians; members of the national human rights institution, if applicable; non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations and victims of human rights violations; the UN and other inter-governmental agencies; and the press when giving a press-conference at the end of the mission.
