What a surprise: all (ex-)Commonwealth contries, and all in places that got enough imported folks to actually colonize instead of just mooch in and run things for a while before getting tossed out of power.

Which leads me to a vocabulary complaint:

By contrast, most of the supporters of the document have been European countries with few indigenous citizens, such as Denmark and Germany, and much of Latin America, whose record of respecting indigenous rights is often poor.

Uhm, no. It's just in those European countries, White People are the indigenous citizens, and based on the complaints in the press there, they'd kind of like some support of the idea of White Rights, which the phrasing of "Indigenous" would probably give them over incoming Turks, Pakistani, etc.
