The Permanent Forum welcomes the launching of the United Nations Indigenous Peoples’ Partnership (UNIPP) and urges Member States and others to provide support for the implementation of joint country programmes in at least 8 to 10 countries over the next five years and to the Regional Initiative on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and Development in Asia and the Pacific through UNIPP.
The Permanent Forum recommends that relevant States, in cooperation with the indigenous peoples concerned, establish indigenous peoples’ centres in urban areas to address their medical needs and provide legal and other forms of assistance.
