The need to harmonize activities affecting indigenous peoples within the United Nations system 2012, para. 31
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur would like to point out the central role that the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues has taken in orienting United Nations institutions and agencies with respect to the rights of indigenous peoples, under its mandate from the Economic and Social Council to provide expert advice and recommendations to programmes, funds and agencies of the United Nations through the Council; and to raise awareness and promote the integration and coordination of activities relating to indigenous issues within the United Nations system (Council resolution 2000/22). In this connection, the Special Rapporteur believes that it would be valuable for the Permanent Forum to undertake a comprehensive review of the work of international institutions that deal with issues relating to indigenous peoples, both at the international and country levels, to assess the extent to which their programming conforms to the standards expressed in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This review could perhaps be facilitated by assigning specific members of the Permanent Forum to the various institutions or programmes within the United Nations system and would supplement the work that the Permanent Forum has already carried out in this regard.
