Responses

The Government of Spain reports: “With respect to paragraph 66, Spain has been working with the UNICEF Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean to implement the programme entitled “Rights of indigenous children in Latin America” since 2005. To date, Spain has undertaken to contribute 6 million euros for the execution of this project, which is being implemented in 16 Latin American countries and whose fundamental objective is to ensure that the rights of indigenous children are respected by all members of society and are taken into account in development models at the regional, national and local levels. The common denominator for this initiative is the development of protective environments for indigenous children so that the Millennium Development Goals can be achieved at the local level, focusing particularly on Goals Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.”
