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. 14
- Original document
- Paragraph text
- Human rights treaty bodies have specifically addressed the need for special measures when referring to indigenous peoples within the context of monitoring compliance with their respective human rights treaties. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has noted that “the situation of indigenous peoples has always been a matter of close attention and concern. In this respect, the Committee has consistently affirmed that discrimination against indigenous peoples falls under the scope of the Convention and that all appropriate means must be taken to combat and eliminate such discrimination.” It has furthermore noted that “States parties should ensure that special measures are designed and implemented on the basis of prior consultation with affected communities and the active participation of such communities”.

Paragraph
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. 10
- Original document
- Paragraph text
- The preamble to the Declaration underlines fundamental aims and principles which should guide its interpretation and implementation: the need to overcome and repair the historical denial of the fundamental human rights of indigenous peoples, and the affirmation of the equality of indigenous peoples and individuals to all other peoples and individuals, paired with their right to be different. The Declaration itself can be considered a remedial tool.

- Paragraph text
- Furthermore, the Declaration is an instrument aimed at ending the pervasive racism and discrimination still suffered by indigenous peoples in the enjoyment of their human rights. Racism and discrimination are prevalent mindsets and attitudes that prevent the establishment of equal relationships between indigenous peoples and States, and with the society at large.

Paragraph
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. 6
- Original document
- Paragraph text
- On 22 and 23 September 2014, United Nations Member States held a high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, to share perspectives and best practices on the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples, including to pursue the objectives of the Declaration. The conclusions of the meeting, reflected in its outcome document, reiterate the commitment of the United Nations system and its Member States towards achieving the ends of the Declaration.

Paragraph
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. 59
- Paragraph text
- Without consideration of these potential barriers, indigenous peoples face violations of due process when they do not understand legal procedures and when courts are inaccessible. Persistent racism, including in the judicial system, is clearly an obstacle to obtaining justice. This is undoubtedly a factor in the concerning overrepresentation of indigenous persons, including women and young people, in jail. Aggressive litigation, particularly by private parties who seek access to indigenous lands and resources, can be used as a way to hinder effective justice or remedy.

Paragraph
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. 13
- Original document
- Paragraph text
- In this regard, the view that the implementation of the rights enshrined in the Declaration amounts to bestowing unjustified privileges on a certain group is a serious concern. This view was held by some States after the adoption of the Declaration and, unfortunately, it has been since reiterated by other actors, including international financial institutions, in the framework of discussions on safeguards to ensure respect for the rights of indigenous peoples. This erroneous interpretation has also been expressed with regard to the special measures required to overcome centuries of racism and discrimination.

Paragraph
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. 87
- Paragraph text
- The only way to move forward is by taking actions in good faith. This entails the holding of intercultural dialogues that are inclusive and carried out with full respect for international human rights standards. This is not to say that there has not been any progress. Many of the gains achieved so far have been outlined in the earlier sections of this report. It has to be recognized that most of these gains have been achieved because of the heightened awareness among indigenous peoples of their rights enshrined in the Declaration. They have actively organized themselves and engaged with Governments to push for the implementation of the Declaration. However, these gains do not match the expectations of indigenous peoples in terms of changes that could have taken place through an effective implementation of the Declaration.

Paragraph
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. 46
- Paragraph text
- Even when special institutions devoted to indigenous peoples exist, lack of adequate coordination and lack of awareness and capacity among State institutions with regard to indigenous issues are common problems cited across countries in terms of enforcing legislation and other measures. The mandate holder has repeatedly recommended that States develop specialized training programmes for government officials as well as members of the legislative branch and the judiciary on the rights of indigenous peoples. Members of the police force, the military and penitentiary staff should also receive training. Indigenous peoples should be involved in designing such programmes and adequate technical and financial resources for these should be provided.

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. 85
- Paragraph text
- The Declaration offers a historical opportunity to change the relationship of Member States with indigenous peoples from one of exclusion and marginalization into one of reconciliation, cooperation and respect. The adoption of the Declaration was, by itself, a first step by Member States, to start this new relationship and remedy past injustices and their contemporary consequences.

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. 47
- Paragraph text
- Another common concern is how the governmental institutions dealing with indigenous peoples are presented as being indigenous peoples’ representative institutions. The mandate holder has stressed the right of indigenous peoples to maintain their own institutional structures and political systems and to participate in decision-making through their own representatives chosen by themselves through their own procedures, as set out in article 18 of the Declaration. Their full and effective participation in the public life of the State should be ensured.

- Moreover, the collective right of self-determination may be expressed in different forms of self-governance and autonomy. Very diverse good practices regarding the recognition of indigenous governing institutions can be found in different countries, depending on historical and political factors. In 2009 Denmark adopted the Act on Greenland self-government. Under the preamble, the people of Greenland are recognized as a people under international law with the right to self-determination.

This should be done in cooperation with indigenous peoples as a demonstration of their efforts to respect the right of indigenous peoples to participate in decision-making in matters that affect them.

Paragraph
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. 37
- Paragraph text
- An important element for operationalizing the recognition of the human rights of indigenous peoples is the adoption of adequate public policies. Both before and after the adoption of the Declaration, public policies addressing indigenous peoples were adopted in several countries. The mandate holder has had the opportunity to receive information on these issues during the country visits, has identified best practices and has made country-specific recommendations. The respective Special Rapporteurs have expressed their concerns over the lack of access by indigenous peoples to appropriate basic public services as well as the distressing disparities between the overall social and economic condition of indigenous peoples and that of the non-indigenous population in both developing and developed countries.

Paragraph
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. 38
- Paragraph text
- Adequate policies must meet two basic criteria: they should conform to the international human rights standards on indigenous peoples; and they should be developed in cooperation with them and with their full participation, with the aim of strengthening their self-determination. This may require a reinterpretation of the concept of development in the light of the Declaration, ensuring that the agency of indigenous peoples as development actors is recognized in the reconceptualization of the issues classically addressed by public policies such as economic development, health or education. Public policies that do not conform with international human rights standards on the rights of indigenous peoples are likely to further violate those rights.

- Original document
- Paragraph text
- The Declaration, as a declaration of the General Assembly, is a standard-setting resolution of profound significance as it reflects a wide consensus at the global level on the minimum content of the rights of indigenous peoples. Many of its articles are an extension of binding standards found in various human rights treaties that have been widely ratified and certain provisions, such as those relating to the protection against racial discrimination, reflect customary international law.

Paragraph
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. 23
- Original document
- Paragraph text
- It must be mentioned that the implementation of the Declaration in Asia and Africa, and the work of the mandate holder to promote it, face particular obstacles due to denial by some States of the existence of indigenous peoples within their borders, on the grounds for example that all the population is indigenous to the country. The mandate holder has repeatedly referred to this issue stating that, despite the different terminology employed in many areas, the situation and human rights issues of certain peoples in those regions is a matter of concern for the mandate holder and the provisions of the Declaration apply to them. These populations are distinct peoples, with specific cultures and relation to certain lands and territories, and have been subject to marginalization. The problems they suffer, related to their group identity, are similar to those of peoples all over the world that identify as indigenous, and are the types of problems that the Declaration seeks to resolve as a remedial instrument. The work of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, particularly its Working Group on indigenous populations/communities, has been instrumental in advancing a positive dialogue on the recognition of indigenous peoples in the African region.

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. 40
- Paragraph text
- Public policies should address the underlying causes of poverty and marginalization that indigenous peoples suffer as a result of the denial of their rights. They should also be considered as elements of the coordinated and systematic action States should develop to ensure that indigenous peoples enjoy their collective and individual human rights, and not as marginal, stand-alone initiatives dependent on available funding. The mandate holder has observed positive examples of public policies to implement indigenous rights on different sectoral issues, such as for example the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan 2013-2023 which affirms that it adopts a human rights-based approach informed by the Declaration. Other examples include the Whanau Ora policy in New Zealand; the bilingual intercultural education programme in Panama and the policies for the protection of indigenous peoples in isolation and recent contact in Bolivia and Ecuador. In El Salvador the recently adopted national policy on indigenous peoples considers the Declaration as its framework. Canada is undertaking a review of its policies to ensure coherence with the Declaration, and dialogue processes with indigenous peoples on public policies are ongoing in Costa Rica or Paraguay.

Paragraph
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. 45
- Paragraph text
- The establishment of special departments within different Ministries focused on indigenous peoples and parliamentary commissions on indigenous issues can be instrumental in the development of appropriate measures to achieve the ends of the Declaration. Within the justice system, some countries have established specialized Public Prosecutor’s Offices which play an important role in trying to ensure access to justice for indigenous peoples. In several countries joint bodies, such as dialogue round tables, with participation of indigenous peoples and State institutions, have been created: they either deal with specific matters or exist as permanent mechanisms. Provided they comply with the basic requirements of full and effective participation by indigenous peoples in decision-making and respect for indigenous appointment processes, these bodies can play a decisive role in advancing respectful and continuous intercultural dialogue between indigenous peoples and States that may bring about the needed changes. They can also be instrumental in preventing and solving conflict situations.
