Security and Conflict Resolution
83. We will strengthen the capacity of our own indigenous systems of conflict resolution and reaffirm the role of our leaders and traditional authorities in resolving issues related to security and armed conflict such as rape, torture and all other forms of human rights violations. We will ensure that Indigenous Peoples’ communities will not be used against each other to escalate armed conflict.
84. We demand the immediate demilitarization in and near indigenous lands and territories and a halt to human rights violations against Indigenous Peoples. We urge States to resolve conflicts according to democratic principles and relevant international and humanitarian laws.
85. We urge governments to support the voluntary return of Indigenous Peoples, refugees and internally displaced peoples to their ancestral lands and territories. Rehabilitation efforts should address the specific interests of Indigenous Peoples.
