To be truly transformative, the post-2015 development framework must include the rights of indigenous peoples, the Deputy Secretary-General said today, stressing to participants at the fourteenth session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, that it was time for them to be at the forefront of an agenda that left no one behind.
