The World Conference Outcome Document was the result of years of preparation and negotiation, and was adopted by consensus of all 193 member states of the United Nations on September 22, 2014.
The final Outcome Document contains the focus of all four of the recommendations proposed by the group of 150 indigenous nations and organizations, including:
- Initiating a process to create a permanent body in the UN system that will monitor and encourage implementation of the Declaration;
- Considering options for a General Assembly decision to make it possible for Indian tribal governments and other indigenous governments to participate in UN meetings on a permanent basis;
- Giving particular attention to the epidemic of violence against indigenous women, including Indian and Alaska Native women in the United States; and
- Respect for places sacred to Indian and other indigenous nations and peoples.
