The Forum recommends that UNESCO bring together indigenous experts and specialists to constitute an international network which integrates the domains of culture, education, science and communication in order to forge a partnership between UNESCO and indigenous peoples.
The Forum reiterates the recommendations contained in paragraphs 18 and 19 of the report on its first session:
(a) The Forum calls upon States to adopt the draft United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples before the end of the Decade;
(b) The Forum encourages States to include representatives of indigenous peoples’ organizations in their delegations to the informal intersessional meeting on the draft United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples.
The Forum, taking into account the importance and potential of regional inter-governmental organizations in promoting indigenous issues in their respective regions, invites those organizations to contribute annually to its work.
