The Permanent Forum recommends that the Human Rights Council and the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights investigate the possibility of the development and acceptance of general recommendations relating to the right of indigenous peoples to self-determination by securing their access to their ancestral lands, territories and natural resources.
The Permanent Forum recommends that OHCHR conduct in 2007, in consultation with indigenous peoples’ organizations, non-governmental organizations, experts, States and multilateral and bilateral agencies, the formulation of guidelines directed to all actors, both governmental and non-governmental, dealing with the respect and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact.
