The draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is still under discussion in the United Nations. Work on the draft declaration has continued ever since the publication in 1984 of the final report of a study of indigenous peoples made under Special Rapporteur Martinez Corbo. In 1994, the Working Group on Indigenous Populations submitted a draft declaration for review by the UN Commission on Human Rights. In 1995 the Commission set up its own working group to review the draft with the object of getting the Declaration finally adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2004, when the ?š International Decade of the World's Indigenous People ends. Most of the articles in the draft are still being discussed, the most difficult being Article 3 on the right to self-determination. Saami delegates representing the Saami Council and the governments of the Nordic countries have participated actively in the discussions of the working group in Geneva.
