Conclusion: The above listing of principal concepts and issues provides a brief outline of some of the concerns of indigenous peoples that should be accommodated in the draft declaration, A practical test of the effectiveness of any proposed draft universal declaration would be to determine whether its provisions would adeauatelv address the wide range of issues facing indigenous peoples both now and in the future.

**Analysis**
The text primarily focuses on the rights and protections of indigenous peoples, including their self-governance, institutional development, and access to resources. It also touches on the importance of international standards and national laws in protecting these rights. Given the emphasis on human rights and the role of states in protecting them, it appears that the text is more closely related to the realm of human rights and governance.
