Implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the work of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples 2017, para. 49
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In other countries, indigenous peoples are developing their own proposals of autonomy in accordance with the Declaration, such as the Autonomous Territorial Government of the Wampis Nation in Peru. In Bolivia, the first autonomous local government took office in the province of Charagua in January 2017. In addition, new institutions have been created, such as the Sami Parliaments in the Nordic countries, the National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples, and numerous indigenous representative organizations. Nevertheless, challenges still remain for the recognition of indigenous peoples’ own institutions and organizations in many countries, including restrictive legalisation and registration processes.
