The Permanent Forum invites States to support the strengthening of local and regional indigenous peoples’ institutions on the management of lands, water and resources, as recommended in the Pikialasorsuaq project of the Inuit Circumpolar Council and the Deatnu (Tana) salmon management project on cross-border cooperation.
The Permanent Forum fully supports plans by indigenous peoples’ organizations and networks in Asia to undertake assessments of how peace agreements that affect them are being implemented in specific countries, and calls on donor agencies to support those initiatives.
