UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION ON
THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Adopted by the General Assembly 13 September 2007

The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the General Assembly on Thursday September 13, by a majority of 144 states in favour, 4 votes against (Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States) and 11 abstentions (Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burundi, Colombia, Georgia, Kenya, Nigeria, Russian Federation, Samoa and Ukraine).

Since its adoption, Australia and New Zealand have reversed their positions and now endorse the Declaration. Colombia and Samoa have also reversed their positions and indicated their support for the Declaration. In March 2010, the Government of Canada announced it would take steps to endorse the UN Declaration and, in April 2010, the United States indicated that it will also review its position regarding the Declaration.

During the Durban Review Conference in April 2009, 182 States from all regions of the world reached consensus on an outcome document in which they “ Welcome[d] the adoption of the UN Declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples which has a positive impact on the protection of victims and, in this context, urge[d] States to take all necessary measures to implement the rights of indigenous peoples in accordance with international human rights instruments without discrimination…” (UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Outcome document of the Durban Review Conference , 24 April 2009, para. 73).

At the core of Joomla, there's a framework. It's the engine that powers all of Joomla, and a lot of the third-party extensions. It's great platform, but sites today are more demanding, and extensions require more power. We felt it was time to build a new brain for Joomla.

Nooku Framework can be installed in Joomla as a plugin. As a developer, you can now build your extensions using Nooku's intuitive API. Because the framework handles most of the work, you'll need only a fraction of the amount of code. You can focus on what really matters: business logic and the user experience.

But there's more: Nooku Framework provides you with excellent out-of-the-box security features. The great design patterns based architecture makes your extension very flexible: all your code automatically becomes re-usable, extensible and replaceable. We believe Nooku Framework is the boost Joomla needs to keep competing.
