The United Nations must also ensure that indigenous peoples "are both a partner and a beneficiary" of the U.N. goals, Malloch Brown said.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour called poverty a denial of human rights.

Stressing that indigenous peoples are one of the groups most severely affected by poverty, Arbour said programs to reduce poverty must be inclusive and "should not be undertaken at the expense of indigenous peoples."
