Namibia has called for the immediate reform of the United Nations Security Council to address inequity and injustice, reflect present realities, and ensure the legitimacy of its decisions.

This follows the recent failure by the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution granting the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations.

World Indigenous Peoples Day was celebrated at Outapi in Omusati under the theme "Indigenous Youth as Agents of Change for Self-Determination".

In a speech delivered on his behalf, Deputy Minister of Marginalised Communities, Royal ǀUiǀoǀoo, highlighted that this day is a dedicated occasion to honour the human rights, dignity, and fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples.
