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.

Displacement and human rights violations have become a tool to punish the Quilombola Peoples’ identity and reinforce structural racism and impoverishment. This article denounces the Brazilian State’s violations against Quilombola Peoples, known in English as Maroon Peoples, which are part of a wider strategy for demographic reengineering on Indigenous and Quilombola lands for attaining political and economic interests.
