The Permanent Forum calls upon the Security Council to address conflicts on Indigenous lands and territories in its meetings under the peace and security agenda, with the full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples.
The recognition of indigenous peoples’ representative institutions is particularly pertinent in conflict-affected and post-conflict regions. Indigenous peoples’ role in peacebuilding is essential for reconciliation and for strengthening resilience to extremism and radicalization, particularly among indigenous youth. Indigenous peoples’ institutions should be viewed by States as allies in the efforts of the Security Council to establish peace and security.
