  "summary": "The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is a global supranational meta-framework foundational-UNDRIP framework adopted by the UN General Assembly — structurally distinctive globally as the only modern global supranational framework operating on formal international-indigenous-peoples-rights framework + foundational Indigenous-rights framework alongside ILO Convention 169 framework (UNDRIP adopted 13 September 2007 by UN General Assembly Resolution 61/295 — 144 in favour + 4 against US + Canada + Australia + New Zealand + 11 abstentions + 4-against-states all-reversed-position 2009-2010 + UNDRIP operations began 2007 + UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues UNPFII established 2000 + 25-year mandate framework — formal foundational UNDRIP framework establishing comprehensive UNDRIP organisation framework, distinct from rest-of-modern-international-treaty frameworks which operate on different substantive areas, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern global supranational framework operating on formal international-indigenous-peoples-rights framework + foundational Indigenous-rights framework alongside ILO Convention 169 + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Free Prior and Informed Consent FPIC framework via Article 19 + Article 32 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Indigenous-Self-Determination framework via Article 3 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Indigenous-Family + Children framework via Article 14 + Article 17 + Article 22 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal four-against-states-all-reversed-position 2009-2010 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Canada-Bill-C-15-UNDRIP-Act 2021 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Australia-Federal-Court-rejection 2023 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Trudeau-UNDRIP-Action-Plan 2023 framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Indigenous Peoples Special Rapporteur framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal UNDRIP-15th-anniversary 2022 + 20th-anniversary 2027 framework), as the central jurisdiction of the formal UNDRIP Free Prior and Informed Consent FPIC framework (UNDRIP Article 19 + Article 32 framework providing formal Free Prior and Informed Consent FPIC framework — formal foundational UNDRIP FPIC framework, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern global supranational framework operating formal Free Prior and Informed Consent FPIC framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Indigenous-veto framework over Indigenous-Lands + Resources + Cultural-Property framework), as the central jurisdiction of the formal UNDRIP Indigenous Self-Determination + Indigenous Family + Children framework (UNDRIP Article 3 + Article 14 + Article 17 + Article 22 framework providing formal Indigenous-Self-Determination + Indigenous-Education + Indigenous-Family + Indigenous-Children framework — formal foundational UNDRIP Indigenous-Self-Determination + Indigenous-Family + Children framework, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern global supranational framework operating formal Indigenous-Self-Determination framework + only modern global supranational framework operating formal Indigenous-Family + Children + Sixties-Scoop-redress framework), and as the central jurisdiction of the formal Four-against-states-all-reversed-position framework (Four-against-states-all-reversed-position framework: Australia reversed 3 April 2009 + New Zealand reversed 19 April 2010 + Canada reversed 12 November 2010 + United States reversed 16 December 2010 — formal foundational Four-against-states-all-reversed-position framework, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern global supranational framework operating formal Four-against-states-all-reversed-position framework). The UNDRIP is operating upon 193 UN member states framework + Indigenous Peoples organizations + national-level Indigenous self-government frameworks — comprehensive universal coverage framework. The Declaration is silent on 'parental alienation' as a statutory label, though formal UNDRIP Article 14 + Article 17 + Article 22 framework operates substantial intersection with parental-alienation framework via formal Indigenous cross-border-family-rights framework + Sixties-Scoop + Indian Residential Schools-redress framework + Indigenous-Family-Court-Jurisdiction framework + Indigenous-Custom-Adoption framework. The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues UNPFII + Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples EMRIP + Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples SRRIP are the formal UNDRIP bodies; national-level apex courts operate as judicial bodies. The UNDRIP is silent on 'parental alienation' as a statutory label.",
