On March 10, 2006 the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination stated "credible information alleging that the Western Shoshone indigenous people are being denied their traditional rights to land." On January 17, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Western Shoshone National Council against the United States that sought to quiet title to lands which boundaries were defined by the Treaty of Ruby Valley (See 415 F. Supp. 2d 1201).
