The Permanent Forum is pleased to note that indigenous peoples and their organizations increasingly avail themselves of the human rights procedures of the Human Rights Council and the international human rights instruments, and the increasing visibility of indigenous peoples’ issues within those mechanisms. In that regard, the Forum recommends that OHCHR continue to disseminate information and to conduct capacity-building activities on the United Nations human rights mechanisms for the promotion and protection of human rights.
The Permanent Forum recommends that the Human Rights Council include, where appropriate, the question of treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements pertaining to indigenous peoples when undertaking its universal periodic review of States members.
