Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is in the process of developing a report on one of the core issues concerning indigenous peoples - the right of indigenous peoples to participation in decision-making affecting them. Throughout his work, the Special Rapporteur has noticed a widespread lack of adequate implementation of this right and a need for orientation about the measures necessary to fulfil this right. The Expert Mechanism's study will be instrumental in providing guidance on this important issue and the Special Rapporteur commends the Expert Mechanism for the work that it already has under way as reflected in its progress report (A/HRC/EMRIP/2010/2).
