'07, as he outlines the development history and current activities related to the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous languages within the framework of the United Nations' Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032). It highlights global efforts, including conferences, policy developments, educational programs, and community projects. 

The proposal advocates for an Indigenous-led resolution at the United Nations to establish an International Convention on Indigenous Languages. This legally binding convention would aim to ensure legal protection, mobilize resources, integrate Indigenous languages into educational systems, and preserve cultural heritage.
