The '''Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization''', or simply '''UNPO''' is an international organization established to facilitate the voices of unrepresented and marginalised [[Earth:Nation|nations]] and peoples worldwide. It was formed on 11 February 1991<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldstatesmen.org/International_Organizations2.html |title=UNPO World Statesman.org |publisher=Worldstatesman |access-date=7 February 2012 |archive-date=27 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427092430/https://www.worldstatesmen.org/International_Organizations2.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unpo.org/section/2 |title=About UNPO |publisher=UNPO |access-date=7 February 2012 |archive-date=5 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120305115204/http://www.unpo.org/section/2 |url-status=live }}</ref> in [[Place:The Hague|The Hague]], Netherlands. Its members consist of indigenous peoples, minorities, and unrecognised or [[Social:Military occupation|occupied]] territories. 

UNPO works to develop the understanding of and respect for the right to [[Social:Self-determination|self-determination]], provides advice and support related to questions of international recognition and political autonomy, trains groups on how to advocate for their causes effectively, and directly advocates for an international response to [[Philosophy:Human rights|human rights]] violations perpetrated against UNPO member groups. Some former members, such as [[Place:Armenia|Armenia]], East Timor, Estonia, Latvia, [[Place:Georgia (country)|Georgia]] and Palau, have gained full independence and joined the {{wipe|United Nations}} (UN).<ref>{{cite news |first=Barbara |last=Crossette |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE1DB1238F93BA25751C1A962958260 |title=Those Knocking, Unheeded, at UN's Doors Find Champion |work={{wipe|New York Times}} |date=18 December 1994}}</ref><ref name="An Anthropology of NGOs">{{cite magazine |last=Tishkov |first=Valerie |url=http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2005-06-01-tishkov-en.html |title=An Anthropology of NGOs |magazine=[[Eurozine]] |date=July 2008 |access-date=19 July 2008 |archive-date=29 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229152902/http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2005-06-01-tishkov-en.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== History ==
UNPO was conceived of in the 1980s by leaders of self-determination movements, Linnart Mäll of the Congress of Estonia, Erkin Alptekin of East Turkestan, and Lodi Gyari of [[Place:Tibet|Tibet]], together with {{ill|Michael van Walt van Praag|nl}}, along with the international law adviser of the [[Biography:14th Dalai Lama|14th Dalai Lama]]. The founders were representatives of national movements of Estonia, Latvia, Tibet, Crimean Tatars, Armenia, Georgia, Tatarstan, East Turkestan, East Timor, Australian Aboriginals, the Cordillera in the Philippines, the Greek minority in Albania, Kurdistan, Palau, Taiwan, and West Papua.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |editor-last=Simmons |editor-first=Mary Kate |year=1996 |title=Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization Yearbook 1995 |publisher=Kluwer Law International |isbn=90-411-0223-X |oclc=36779050 |pages=1–3}}</ref> A key UNPO goal was, and remains, to replicate the success of the [[Biography:14th Dalai Lama|14th Dalai Lama]]'s and the Tibetan people's non-violent message in the face of oppression and occupation.<ref name="UNPO">{{cite book |url=http://www.unpo.org/downloads/428.pdf |title=UNPO 20th Anniversary Publication: Twenty Years of Promoting Nonviolence, Human Rights and Self Determination |publisher=UNPO |year=2011 |location=The Hague, Netherlands |access-date=6 September 2012 |archive-date=5 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120805064717/http://www.unpo.org/downloads/428.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.gluckman.com/unpo.html |title=World's wanna-be republics find a home with UNPO |first=Ron |last=Gluckman |work=Asiaweek |year=1998 |access-date=4 November 2010 |archive-date=25 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101125105456/http://gluckman.com/unpo.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

UNPO chose for its founding headquarters in 1991 [[Place:The Hague|The Hague]] in the Netherlands because the city aimed at becoming the International City of Peace and Justice and hosts international courts like the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC). A Foundation was established in the Netherlands to provide secretarial support to the UNPO General Assembly and to carry out research and educational activities related to unrepresented peoples worldwide. The Foundation maintains a permanent presence before the European Union, United States and United Nations. It is funded by a combination of member contributions, donations from individuals and project-based grants from foundations.{{cn|date=February 2021}}

== Aims ==
UNPO's vision is to affirm democracy as a fundamental human right, implement human, civil and political rights worldwide, uphold the universal right to autonomy and self-determination, and further federalism. It encourages nonviolent methodologies to reach peaceful solutions to conflicts and oppression. UNPO supports members in getting their human and cultural rights respected and in preserving their environments. The organization provides a forum for members to network and assists them in participating at an international level.<ref name="UNPO"/>

Although UNPO members often have different goals, they have one thing in common: they are generally not represented diplomatically (or only with a minor status, such as observer) in major international institutions, such as the {{wipe|United Nations}} (UN). As a result, their ability to have their concerns addressed by the global bodies mandated to protect human rights and address conflict is limited.<ref name="UNPO"/>

UNPO is dedicated to the five principles enshrined in its Covenant:

* The equal right to [[Social:Self-determination|self-determination]];
* Adherence to the internationally accepted [[Philosophy:Human rights|human rights]] standards as laid down in the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action and other international instruments;
* Adherence to the principles of [[Social:Democracy|democratic]] pluralism and rejection of totalitarianism and religious intolerance;
* Promotion of non-violence and the rejection of [[Social:Terrorism|terrorism]] as an instrument of policy; and
* Protection of the [[Biology:Environmentalism|natural environment]].

All members are required to sign and abide by the UNPO Covenant.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://unpo.org/section/2/1 |title=UNPO: UNPO Covenant |website=UNPO |access-date=2019-12-21 |archive-date=15 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191115101506/https://unpo.org/section/2/1 |url-status=live }}</ref> UNPO members are required to be [[Social:Nonviolence|nonviolent]].<ref name="Bob">{{Cite book |title=The Marketing of Rebellion: Insurgents, Media, and International Activism |first=Clifford |last=Bob |publisher={{wipe|Cambridge University Press}} |year=2005 |pages=47–48, 76–77}}</ref>
