4 Thornberry also incorrectly states that the Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities “has produced” a draft declaration on indigenous rights “to be adopted by the General Assembly in 1992” (p. 377). In fact, it is anticipated that such a declaration will be adopted by the working group at its July 1993 session; its fate thereafter is uncertain.

5 Nevertheless, 115 countries were bound by the Covenant as of Jan. 31, 1993.
