The Resolution also invited Member States to consider establishing national mechanisms with adequate funding for the successful implementation of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in partnership with indigenous peoples, and invited indigenous peoples, as custodians of their own languages, to initiate and develop appropriate measures for the implementation of the International Decade. The IDIL 2022-2032 aims among its main objectives to: draw attention to the critical loss of indigenous languages and the urgent need to preserve, revitalize and promote them; take urgent steps at the national and international levels. - 27 May 2021 Montevideo - Uruguay
