The right of indigenous peoples to development with culture and identity, the right of indigenous peoples to participation and the obligation of States to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2010, para. 77
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur sees three principal aspects of the external dimension. A first aspect has to do with the participation of indigenous peoples in the broader public or political life of the State. Almost invariably, the participation of indigenous peoples in the broader public life of the State is inadequate and not proportional in relation to indigenous populations. While there are numerous examples of efforts by States to increase indigenous political participation through various measures, continued steps need to be taken to ensure greater indigenous participation in the public sphere. In this regard, special measures may be required to ensure that indigenous peoples can participate on equal footing in the public and political life of States.
