The need to harmonize activities affecting indigenous peoples within the United Nations system 2012, para. 38
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Other significant developments have taken place in cooperation with the advisory bodies to the World Heritage Committee, which play key roles in the declaration of sites. In 2011 the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues noted and welcomed the initiative of the Committee and its three advisory bodies, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the International Council on Monuments and Sites and the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property, to review current procedures and capacity to ensure free, prior and informed consent and the protection of the livelihoods and tangible and intangible heritage of indigenous peoples (E/2011/43-E/C.19/2011/14, para. 41). In addition, in its resolution 4.048, adopted at its fourth session in 2008, the IUCN World Conservation Congress resolved to apply the requirements of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to all of its programmes and operations and called on Governments to work with indigenous peoples' organizations to ensure that protected areas which affect or may affect the lands, territories and other resources of indigenous peoples are not established without their free, prior and informed consent and to ensure due recognition of their rights in existing protected areas.
