Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (British Columbia)
The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) is a statute of the province of British Columbia, Canada. Enacted in 2019, it establishes a legal commitment to uphold the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in provincial law and policy. The Act makes British Columbia the first jurisdiction in Canada to legislate the implementation of UNDRIP, and forms a central component of the province's approach to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. It has become the subject of political controversy in British Columbia due to the legal uncertainty resulting from its implementation, including potential impacts on governance, private property rights, and economic development.
