Bringing together participants from some 500 indigenous groups worldwide, the Forum is focusing on the theme ""Indigenous Children and Youth"". Women in indigenous costume participate in today's session.

A view of indigenous children from the Embera people, displaced by armed conflict. There are over two million internally displaced persons in Colombia and while forced displacement is always a very difficult experience, it is doubly catastrophic for indigenous communities.

Headline Coping with Disasters: Refugees and Displaced Persons in South-East Asia

Caption Description The humanitarian commitment of the international community was emphatically reaffirmed at a two-day meeting convened in Geneva in July by UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim. The 65 nations attending the meeting made substantial commitments of funds and offers of permanent asylum to help solve the immediate and long-term needs of the hundreds of thousands of Indochinese refugees and displaced persons in South-East Asia. The international relief effort is being coordinated by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
