Paragraph Number: 37
Session: 9 (2010)
Full Text:
The Permanent Forum deems it urgently necessary for UNDP to develop a deeper understanding of indigenous peoples’ world views. This requires, inter alia, that UNDP enhance its own capacity in the area of the human rights of indigenous peoples by having, at least, one full-time adviser on indigenous peoples’ rights. This adviser should be an indigenous professional who has experience working in or with indigenous organizations. The Permanent Forum further recommends that UNDP establish internal mechanisms to monitor and ensure compliance with its own programmes and operations policies and procedures related to indigenous peoples’ rights. The UNDP Liaison Committee on Indigenous Peoples’ Issues, in collaboration with the Permanent Forum, should develop a system to receive concerns from indigenous peoples and ensure the application of the internal policies and procedures of UNDP.
