Inuit Circumpolar Conference - Definition and Overview

Inuit Circumpolar Conference or ICC, is an international nongovernmental organization representing 150,000 Inuit, living in the Arctic regions of Canada (especially Nunavut), Greenland and on the Russian peninsula of Chukotka.

The main goals of the organization are to strengthen unity among Inuit, to promote their rights and interests, and to ensure the development of Inuit culture.

A General Assembly, which also serves as a discussion forum, is held every four years, bringing together Inuit from across the northern circumpolar region. Assembly delegates elect а president and an executive council, and develop policies and resolutions for the coming term.
