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 Permanent Forum reiterates that it has urged all United Nations entities and States parties to treaties concerning the environment, biodiversity and climate change to eliminate the use of the term “local communities” in conjunction with Indigenous Peoples, and to distinguish between the terms, in ongoing processes, policies and new international agreements at all levels.
