The Inuit Circumpolar Council has been upgraded to permanent consultative status at the International Maritime Organization, a move that the ICC says keeps its “seat at the table” regarding global shipping standards.
The International Maritime Organization is the United Nations’ shipping regulator.
Since 2021, the ICC had been the first and only Indigenous peoples’ organization to hold provisional consultative status at the IMO.
This month, that changed to permanent consultative status.
