The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is internationally recognized and accepted as guaranteeing the fundamental rights of all human beings, but these rights have not been adequate safeguards in protecting the rights of indigenous peoples in North America. Native Americans must actively lobby for the implementing of international laws in the protection of their rights upon cases of domestic violations and discrimination. If the U.S. government cannot provide the avenues to protect indigenous rights, then the strategy that the Native Americans should employ is to seek international help. Treaties are binding upon contracting states, and as earlier mentioned, the U.S. is a signatory to treaties on international anti-racism conventions, such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Invoking these treaties under international law is one avenue for the protection of indigenous rights. Such great changed and additions to the International laws have greatly influenced American government attitude to Native Americans. Nowadays these laws implementation is controlled by international community, and according to the International Conventions which were approved by the world community the United States must be responsible and will be pressed in case of these Conventions violation.

It is the great example to celebrate the excellent partnership results where the world community and international organizations together with one country where aborigines rights might be violated has come to success for both sides. The government that would prefer keeping its interests to the prejudice of its citizens freedom cannot have any human right to govern and guide the whole societies.
