Indigenous children and their rights under the Convention 2009, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- Therefore, States parties should take special measures in order to ensure that indigenous children, including those living in remote areas, are duly registered. Such special measures, to be agreed following consultation with the communities concerned, may include mobile units, periodic birth registration campaigns or the designation of birth registration offices within indigenous communities to ensure accessibility.

Indigenous children and their rights under the Convention 2009, para. 2

Access to land and the right to food 2010, para. 10
- Paragraph text
- The pressures referred to above exacerbate conflicts over land and lead to a worrisome criminalization of social movements aimed at carrying out agrarian reforms "from below", including by claiming land that is unused and, in their view, should be distributed more equitably. As a result, serious violations of a range of human rights occur, including murders of peasants connected to such activities, which the Special Rapporteur has documented in a number of communications to States. But the increased pressures on land are also a source of concern because of the weak protection of those who depend most on the land for their survival: smallholders, traditional fisherfolk, pastoralists and peoples (including indigenous and tribal peoples) that rely on the products of the forest. The present report first addresses the situation of indigenous peoples, which is specific insofar as the right of such peoples to have their lands demarcated and protected is recognized under international law. It then considers the position of smallholders, who cultivate the land in conditions that are often insufficiently secure, and that of other land users, such as fisherfolk, pastoralists and herders, who are particularly dependent on commons. The key message is that, while security of tenure is important and should be seen as crucial to the realization of the right to food, individual titling and the creation of a market for land rights may not be the most appropriate means to achieve it.

The implementation of the right to social protection through the adoption of social protection floors 2014, para. 37
- Paragraph text
- Second, the means by which economic and social rights are to be realized needs to be highly sensitive to national specificities: just as proponents of the Covenant have recognized that dimension, so too is the Initiative built upon assumptions of national ownership. By the same token, there have been compelling arguments made for the need to pay much more attention in future to local or indigenous mutual support systems and institutions in the area of social protection.

The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 64
- Paragraph text
- Racial discrimination can prevent workers from exercising their peaceful assembly and association rights, as in Colombia, where approximately 75 per cent of the workforce in Colombia's ports, primarily Afro-descendant workers, are employed under flexible contracts and not allowed to join unions or to bargain. Many of the thousands of trade unionists in Colombia murdered between 1986 and 2011 were Afro-Colombian.

Post conflict and post disaster reconstruction and the right to adequate housing 2011, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- While the Government directed significant domestic and foreign funding towards the construction of new housing, primarily through the imidugudu (villagization) model, and achieved some positive results, these efforts were only very rarely based upon consultation with local people, and in some cases involved direct pressure, eviction and dispossession that would appear incompatible with international human rights law. The opportunity of moving to housing constructed as part of the imidugudu programme was popular among some residents living in inadequate shelter, but it was much less popular amongst households who already lived in good-quality homes. Villagers were seriously concerned that the new villages put people further away from their fields, making cultivation more difficult, especially for women. They were also concerned that those who had given up some of their land to make way for the villages seldom received compensation, which caused tension and potential conflict. In addition, houses provided in the imidugudu were often of poor quality and the authorities frequently placed unreasonable restrictions upon existing home-owners, requiring them to upgrade or replace their homes without due regard for questions of affordability and cultural adequacy and appropriateness. The indigenous Twa people suffered particularly severely as a result, through the imposition of requirements ignoring their traditional values and housing practices.

Mapping and framing security of tenure 2013, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- Other forms of tenure are barely discussed. For instance, collective tenure-other than that held by indigenous peoples-warrants further examination. It is also unclear what State obligations are with respect to tenancy. Should States adopt a framework of tenant protection? How should tenants' rights be balanced with the rights of property owners? What are the limits within which tenants' rights or the rights of holders of other forms of tenure can be ensured?

Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 9
- Paragraph text
- A number of human rights violations against human rights defenders are committed by private corporations, a category that should be understood as consisting of companies, whether national or transnational, not owned or operated by Governments. Private corporations have allegedly been impeding the activities of defenders working, inter alia, on labour rights, the exploitation of natural resources, the rights of indigenous peoples and minorities.

Overview of the activities carried during the first three-year term of the mandate 2011, para. 191
- Paragraph text
- We underscore that the global nature of climate change calls for the widest possible cooperation by all countries and their participation in an effective and appropriate international response, with a view to accelerating the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions. We recall that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change provides that parties should protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of humankind on the basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. We note with grave concern the significant gap between the aggregate effect of mitigation pledges by parties in terms of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 and aggregate emission pathways consistent with having a likely chance of holding the increase in global average temperature below 2° C, or 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels. We recognize the importance of mobilizing funding from a variety of sources, public and private, bilateral and multilateral, including innovative sources of finance, to support nationally appropriate mitigation actions, adaptation measures, technology development and transfer and capacity-building in developing countries. In this regard, we welcome the launching of the Green Climate Fund, and call for its prompt operationalization so as to have an early and adequate replenishment process.

We recognize the continued efforts by African countries to create enabling environments for inclusive growth in support of sustainable development and the need for the international community to make continued efforts to increase the flow of new and additional resources for financing for development from all sources, public and private, domestic and foreign, to support these development efforts by African countries, and welcome the various important initiatives established between African countries and their development partners in this regard.
