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. 11
- Paragraph text
- True reconciliation requires affirmative steps to provide remedy and redress for indigenous peoples. As stated in the Declaration, this is required inter alia for the dispossession of their land, territories and resources, for any form of forced assimilation or integration, for taking cultural, intellectual, religious or spiritual property, for the deprivation of their means of subsistence as well as for the development and for the utilization or exploitation of their mineral, water or other resources. An essential approach for redress in these processes is the consideration of the collective nature of the impact of such violations and therefore the incorporation of adequate collective reparation measures. Without definite measures of remedy, reconciliation cannot be achieved.

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. 7
- Paragraph text
- In this report, the Special Rapporteur provides some views on the status of implementation of the Declaration, based on the situations observed in country visits, allegations received by the mandate holder, independent research, and exchanges maintained with States, indigenous peoples and others during the past decade. At the end, some recommendations are presented on necessary steps and areas that require special attention to ensure that indigenous peoples enjoy the rights recognized in the Declaration and relevant international human rights instruments. The Special Rapporteur provides examples and references for the work developed by the mandate holder to support this aim.

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. 22
- Paragraph text
- The effective implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples requires States to develop an ambitious programme of reforms at all levels to remedy past and current injustices. This should involve all the branches of the State, including the executive, legislative and judiciary, and implies a combination of political will, legal reform, technical capacity and financial commitment. Implementation of the Declaration should be measured against compliance with these requirements, and not on the basis of rhetorical claims of commitment or isolated measures. Moreover, implementation of the Declaration cannot happen without the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples at all levels of decision making.

- Paragraph text
- Nevertheless, considering the problems witnessed and the information and allegations received, the Special Rapporteur assesses the situation of implementation of the Declaration as one of limited progress. This is particularly worrisome considering the urgency and seriousness of the threats indigenous peoples are facing in many countries, compromising not only their dignity and well-being but their very survival as distinct peoples.

- Challenges remain regarding the interpretation of the content of the rights enshrined in the Declaration. Differences in interpretation continue to exist especially in relation to rights to lands and resources; the application of the duty of States to consult with and seek the free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples in matters that affect them; and the harmonization of State and customary indigenous governance and justice systems.

- 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 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.

- 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”.

The four countries that voted against the Declaration have now reversed their position, and some of the countries that abstained have also made public statements of support. Moreover, States reaffirmed their commitment to take measures to achieve the ends of the Declaration in consultation and cooperation with indigenous peoples at the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in 2014.

- 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 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.

- 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
- In this sense, the work of the mandate holder has sought to clarify standards contained in the Declaration, and other relevant existing human rights instruments, both in general and in specific contexts. For instance, after the adoption of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the previous Special Rapporteur analysed how indigenous peoples’ rights should be interpreted and implemented in the context of business activities affecting them, both in relation to State duties and companies’ responsibilities, and developed further in-depth work on the issue focused on the activities of extractive industries. The current Special Rapporteur has provided interpretations of standards in relation to economic, social and cultural rights and sustainable development and to investment agreements, as well as analyses of conservation activities and climate change measures.

- Measuring the effective implementation of the Declaration presents important challenges. It is difficult to assess the performance of adopted laws or policies in terms of their contribution to implementing the aims of the Declaration, owing in part to lack of disaggregated data and adequate indicators that are significant in terms of indigenous peoples’ rights.

- Paragraph text
- Additionally, States should engage in comprehensive reviews of their existing legislation and administrative programmes to identify where they may be incompatible with the Declaration. This would include a review of all laws and programmes touching upon indigenous peoples' rights and interests, including those related to natural resource development, land, education, administration of justice and other areas. On the basis of such a review, the necessary legal and programmatic reforms should be developed and implemented in consultation with indigenous peoples.

Within the conceptual framework drawn up by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises - protect, respect and remedy - companies have, at the very least, the duty to comply with international standards relating to the human rights of indigenous peoples.

- Paragraph text
- However, at the same time, article 32 affirms that "indigenous peoples have the right to determine and develop priorities and strategies for the development or use of their lands or territories and other resources". Thus, the Declaration's guarantees under article 32 are aimed not only at avoiding the harm to indigenous peoples that might result when development projects are carried out without their consent, but also at advancing indigenous peoples' own development interests along with those of the larger society, with the objective that indigenous peoples genuinely influence decision-making regarding the development of the countries in which they live.

- Paragraph text
- One of the fundamental difficulties facing companies that operate in indigenous territories, or whose operations affect those territories, is the absence of formal recognition of indigenous peoples by the State in which they live, or recognition limited solely to certain groups. Nevertheless, a generally accepted principle of international human rights law holds that the existence of distinct ethnic, linguistic or religious groups, including indigenous peoples, can be established by objective criteria and cannot depend on a unilateral decision by a State.

- The same line of reasoning informs World Bank and IFC policies concerning indigenous peoples, according to which a set of special criteria apply when borrowers' projects have any kind of impact on the territories or natural resources traditionally used by indigenous peoples. For example, projects which depend on the recognition of indigenous communal ownership or which involve land acquisition, require prior documentation, prepared by experts, of indigenous patterns of land use and occupation. Under these policies, indigenous customary land tenure must be treated on a equal footing with legally titled ownership.

It should be kept in mind that under a corporate approach based on respect for indigenous rights, benefit sharing must be regarded as a means of complying with a right, and not as a charitable award or favour granted by the company in order to secure social support for the project or minimize potential conflicts.

Such commitments range from respect for local cultures and communities, to improving the economic conditions of those communities and, at times, to requiring free, prior and informed consent.

- Paragraph text
- Aside from being entitled to compensation for damages or mitigation measures for negative impacts, indigenous peoples have the right to share in the benefits arising from activities taking place on their traditional territories, especially in relation to natural resource development. Companies are bound by their duty to respect indigenous rights to establish mechanisms that ensure that indigenous peoples share in the benefits generated by the activities in question. Benefit-sharing should be regarded as a means of complying with a right, not as a charitable award or favour granted by the company in order to secure social support for the project or minimize potential conflicts. Consideration should be given to the development of benefit-sharing mechanisms that genuinely strengthen the capacity of indigenous peoples to establish and pursue their own development priorities and that help indigenous peoples to make their own decision-making mechanisms and institutions more effective.

- Paragraph text
- As a general matter, decisions of the State should be made through democratic processes in which the public's interests are adequately represented. However, these normal democratic and representative processes usually do not work adequately to address the concerns that are particular to indigenous peoples, who are typically marginalized from the political sphere. The duty of States to consult with indigenous peoples and its various normative components are premised on widespread acknowledgment, as manifested in the Declaration, of indigenous peoples' distinctive characteristics and specific rights and on the need for special measures to address their disadvantaged conditions.

- A good faith effort towards consensual decision-making requires that States endeavour to create a climate of confidence with indigenous peoples that allows for a productive dialogue. This is particularly important in relation to indigenous peoples given their historic exclusion from decision-making processes and consequent lack of trust in State institutions. Furthermore, indigenous peoples are typically disadvantaged in terms of political influence, financial resources, access to information and relevant education in comparison to State institutions or private parties, such as companies, that are their counterparts in the consultations.

- Paragraph text
- A central pillar of this normative framework is that companies have a general duty to respect international human rights standards within the context of the due diligence that must govern their activities. Due diligence is not limited to respect for the national regulations of States in which companies operate, which are inadequate in many cases, but should be governed by the international standards that are binding on those States and on the international community as a whole. Due diligence also means that companies must not contribute to States' failure to meet their international obligations in relation to indigenous rights, nor should they endeavour to replace the role of States in the fulfilment of those obligations. The Special Rapporteur considers the following to be necessary elements of the due diligence of companies whose activities affect indigenous peoples.
