The Permanent Forum notes that the 2010 annual report of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations devotes increased attention to the implementation by States parties of conventions relevant to the rights of indigenous peoples. The Permanent Forum also notes that 6 of the 12 countries under individual observation on ILO Convention C169 in 2010 must submit a report in 2010, which indicates the serious concern of the Committee about compliance with the Convention by those countries. The Permanent Forum urges the relevant States to present their reports by the deadline established by ILO.
