- Abstract
The article discusses the role of the United Nations (UN) in the welfare of indigenous people. Indigenous populations have been identified by the UN as a distinct category different from their role but still took the responsibility for them. According to Agusto Willemsen Diaz, a lawyer, the problems facing indigenous people should be studied separately from issues of racial discrimination. He emphasized the need to disassociate indigenous questions from the issue of minority rights. His views resulted to the formation of the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs on 1968 and Survival International on 1969.
