This handbook aims to be a practical instrument to enable
parliamentarians around the world to understand indigenous peoples’ rights better and
to provide practical ideas for the implementation of the UN Declaration. It also presents
good practices in relation to the recognition and exercise of indigenous peoples’ rights
in different regions of the world.
The primary purpose of the report is to draw on available
research to raise awareness of youth mental-health conditions among relevant stakeholders and to start a global conversation regarding strategies for addressing the challenges faced by young people, with the overarching goal of fostering their economic and social integration.
