They're making a presentation at the UN's 14th Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, just the latest step in a two-year battle to persuade the UN to pressure Fiji's government over iTaukei rights.

The Congress argues that the government is violating ILO Convention 169, and harming iTaukei rights to self-determination, and particularly control over native cultural, educational and financial institutions and tribal lands.

Opposition MP Niko Nawaikula is part of the Congress' delegation in New York. He's just appeared before the UN Forum.

Presenter: Richard Ewart

Speaker: Niko Nawaikula, Fiji opposition MP, Fiji Native and Tribal Congress representative
