Every annual seminar includes an action focusing on how Hawaii can participate as citizens of the world to make a difference in a global campaign. The focus this year will be on Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Universal Periodic Review in two important international initiatives. The first will be to explore the Outcome Document of the UN World Conference on Indigenous Peoples and Implementation in Hawai'i. The second will be on the upcoming Universal Periodic Review of the United States at the UN Human Rights Council in 2015 and how we can offer recommendations that realize rights in Hawai'i.
