Session: 20 (2021)
Full Text:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for the collection of disaggregated statistical data on the situation of indigenous peoples. Where such data are available, they have shown that the pandemic has affected indigenous peoples differently than other populations, requiring culturally appropriate approaches and solutions. The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendation to Member States to collect and disseminate disaggregated statistical data on indigenous peoples, in close cooperation with indigenous peoples themselves, in order to support evidence-based policymaking and programming.

The Permanent Forum welcomes the report on the study on implementing free, prior and informed consent in the context of Indigenous Peoples (E/C.19/2023/6), presented at its twenty-second session by a former member of the Permanent Forum, Alexey Tsykarev. The Permanent Forum agrees with the recommendation in the study that Member States and businesses treat Indigenous Peoples as rights holders and work collaboratively with Indigenous Peoples to design effective models for ensuring that free, prior and informed consent is honoured. It urges States, with the full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples, to develop national standards to ensure free, prior and informed consent for all development activities by private and public companies.
