All-Party Parliamentary Group for Tribal Peoples
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Tribal Peoples is a group in the UK Parliament, chaired by Martin Horwood MP, that was founded in 2007.[1] Its stated aim is to "raise parliamentary and public awareness of tribal peoples". The Group meets two or three times a year and one of its main objectives is to press for ratification of ILO Convention 169 on the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples.[2][3] The British international indigenous rights organization Survival International works as its secretariat, and also funds occasional group receptions and events. APPG for Tribal Peoples is composed of over 30 cross-party MPs and peers, and it is headquartered in London.
