Phil Fontaine on overcoming First Nations poverty 1/3

[Indigence]

Rule of law needed to fight global poverty: UN legal commission :

4 billion people around the world ar robbed of the chance to better their lives and climb out of poverty, because they are excluded from the rule of law. Whether living below or slightly above the poverty line, these men, women, & children lack the protections & rights afforded by the law.

They may be citizens of the country in which they live, but their resources, modest @ best, can neither be properly protected nor leveraged.
