Chandra Kalindi Roy-Henriksen (born 1956) is a Bangladeshi advocate for the rights of indigenous people and the former[1] chair of the secretariat of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.[2][3]
Early life and career[edit]
Roy was born in Rangamati in 1956 as the first child of the fiftieth Chakma Raja Tridev Roy and his first wife Rani Arati Roy. She is a member of the Chakma royal family from the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Roy is married to Norwegian Sami lawyer John Bernard Henriksen. She is the elder sister of Debashish Roy, a barrister.
Roy attended missionary schools in Chittagong and studied law at the Punjab University and American University. Following the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, Roy and much of her family chose to remain in independent Bangladesh after her father abdicated the Chakma throne and left for self-imposed exile in Pakistan.
After working with several law firms in the United States,[which?] Roy joined the United Nations and served in the International Labour Organization in Geneva for many years. Having left the ILO in 2000, she became a consultant and researcher on the rights of indigenous people.
UN advocate[edit]
In 2010,[citation needed] Roy was appointed chair of the secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
