The Universal Declaration of the Rights of Peoples (also known as the Algier's Charter)was adopted in Algiers, July 4, 1976 on the initiative of Lelio Basso.[1] This was at the conclusion of an international conference of jurists, politicians, sociologists, and economists, meeting from 1 July to 4 July at the Palais des Nations in Algiers. They prepared, discussed and approved a declaration which "consecrates the rights of self-determination, of protection of the environment, of control of natural resources, and of the protection of minorities."[2] It served as a foundational document for the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal.
