On December 17, 2020, United Nations Secretary General António Guterres appointed Dev Kumar Sunuwar, staff member at Cultural Survival, as a member of the Advisory Board of Trustees of the UN Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples. Sunuwar has been selected as a representative of Indigenous Peoples from the Asia-Pacific region to advise the UN General Secretary on the use of the Fund for a three-year tenure, from January 2021 until December 2023.
In October 2019, Cultural Survival submitted a report on the state of Indigenous human rights in the United States as part of the 36th Session of the United Nations Universal Periodic Review, a process by which UN member States have the opportunity to review fellow States’ human rights records and make recommendations.
