UNDRIP and the Xi-Amaru Republic: Advancing the Rights of a Restored Indigenous Nation
Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on September 13, 2007, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) stands as a global commitment to recognise, respect, and protect the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples.
With 144 nations voting in favour including the United States in 2010, UNDRIP is now considered one of the most authoritative international instruments affirming the right of Indigenous peoples to live freely and govern themselves in accordance with their customs, traditions, and systems of law.
What Is UNDRIP?
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is not merely a symbolic gesture, it is a powerful declaration of legal principles grounded in human dignity and historical justice. UNDRIP affirms the rights of Indigenous peoples to:
- Self-determination and self-government (Article 3–4),
Â
- Maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social, and cultural institutions (Article 5),
Â
- Freely determine their political status and pursue their development (Article 23),
Â
- Exercise jurisdiction over internal matters including education, health, and justice (Article 34),
- Protect their spiritual and cultural traditions, land, and resources (Articles 11–32).
The U.S. Government Endorsed UNDRIP
Although the U.S. initially voted against UNDRIP in 2007, it officially reversed its position in 2010, declaring its support under the Obama administration.Â
This shift carries significant implications for Indigenous peoples within U.S. territory, including those not federally recognized.
This endorsement serves as a global legal acknowledgement that Indigenous nations, like the Xi-Amaru Republic, have rights protected not only by their ancestors’ legacy but by international law.
How UNDRIP Advances the Xi-Amaru Republic
The Xi Amaru Republic, established as an Indigenous government rooted in ancestral lineage and spiritual restoration, stands firmly on the protections guaranteed by UNDRIP.
As a lawful Indigenous nation, the Xi Amaru Republic draws from UNDRIP to assert its:
Right to exist as a distinct nation (Article 3)
Right to operate its own governance, justice system, and citizenship protocols (Article 4 and 34)
Right to develop independent economic, educational, and health systems (Article 20 and 23)
Right to spiritual practices and repatriation of cultural identity (Article 12 and 31)
These rights are not dependent on US federal recognition but are grounded in international human rights law.
The Xi Amaru Republic does not need external permission to operate. It stands on recognition through rightful inheritance and global principle.
A Framework for Restoration
UNDRIP provides the international structure that guides the Xi Amaru Republic’s mission to restore identity, reclaim jurisdiction, and rebuild what was lost through colonization and forced assimilation.
The declaration reinforces that Indigenous peoples have the right to their own institutions, and the authority to speak for themselves, govern themselves, and determine their future.
As the Xi Amaru Republic continues to build, grow, and protect its people through lawful protocols, educational programs, and jurisdictional notices such as Form 56 for tax exemption, UNDRIP protects the legitimacy and vision of its leadership.
Conclusion: Restoration Is Lawful and Inevitable
UNDRIP is not a radical document, it is a reaffirmation of ancient truths: that Indigenous nations existed long before the creation of modern states, and they have the right to continue existing now.
For the Xi-Amaru Republic, UNDRIP is more than international support, it is a confirmation that restoration is not rebellion. Restoration is righteous.
The journey of the Xi-Amaru Republic is not one of separation, but of reclamation, of purpose, law, and sacred identity.
And in that mission, UNDRIP stands not only as an ally but as a pillar of international law upholding our path to wholeness, justice, and collective healing.
