UNDRIP is a universal human rights declaration, endorsed by 143 countries. Canada signed on fully in 2016. DRIPA aligns BC law with these human rights standards — it does not create race-based privileges. Section 1(3) of DRIPA explicitly says it 'does not abrogate or derogate from' existing constitutional rights. Aboriginal rights under Section 35 exist because of prior occupation — a legal fact, not a racial category.
