Paragraph
Paragraph text
Finally, with respect to indigenous decision-making concerning internal matters, while there are some noteworthy examples of indigenous autonomy and self-government throughout the world, continued efforts by States are needed to promote and consolidate legal recognition and accommodation of indigenous institutions of self-governance. Additionally, there is a need for indigenous peoples themselves to continue to endeavour to strengthen their capacities to control and manage their own affairs and to participate effectively in all decisions affecting them, in a spirit of cooperation and partnership with government authorities at all levels, as well as a need to address any issues of social dysfunction within their communities.
