Full Text
The Permanent Forum notes the initiative of the United Nations country team in Nicaragua to establish a consultative committee comprising members of indigenous peoples, Afrodescendants and country team staff, in order to promote and strengthen the realization of the rights and principles set out in international human rights instruments. The Permanent Forum urges other United Nations country teams to follow this example and establish similar consultative mechanisms.
Responses
OHCHR reported that UNIPP will continue to support the consultative committee established in Nicaragua by the UN Resident Coordinator. UNIPP will also support consultation processes and mechanisms through currently approved, and future proposals. The UNIPP Policy Board and Secretariat are actively working on resource mobilisation. Any future call for proposals will be dependent on the funds mobilised.
