Basarwa report govt to UN

Basarwa want a recommendation to be made to the forum to urge the government of Botswana to report on the issue in the next forum.

The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is the UN’s central coordinating body for matters relating to the concerns and rights of the world’s indigenous peoples.  The forum is an advisory body within the framework of the United Nations System that reports to discuss indigenous issues related to social development, culture, environment, education, health and human rights.  It provides expert advice and recommendations to the Economic and Social Council and to the various programmes, funds and agencies of the United Nations System through the Council.
