Paragraph #89Session #5 (2006)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum welcomes the reports of the Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people, Rodolfo Stavenhagen, on the international seminars on “Constitutional Reforms, Legislation and Implementation of Laws regarding the Rights of Indigenous Peoples” held in Geneva and Tucson, Arizona, in July and October 2005, respectively (E/CN.4/2006/78/Add.5). Concerned about the status of recommendations and the implementation gap, the Permanent Forum recommends to indigenous peoples’ organizations, non-governmental organizations and interested United Nations organizations and States that they hold United Nations expert seminars regarding the implementation of the Special Rapporteur’s recommendations and request that the results of the meetings be reported to the Permanent Forum at its sixth session.

Responses

OHCHR reports: “The OHCHR Andean Project, the United Nations Children’s Fund Americas and the Caribbean Regional Office and the United Nations Development Fund for Women have started work on a regional study in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia on follow-up of the Special Rapporteur’s thematic recommendations. The results of this study will be submitted to the seventh session of the Permanent Forum. Similarly, the OHCHR Andean Project held meetings in Ecuador in 2006 and has published a booklet on the Special Rapporteur’s mandate which has been distributed among Ecuadorian indigenous organizations.”
