Addressee: UNDP, OHCHR and ILO

Paragraph #40Session #9 (2010)

Full Text

The Permanent Forum recommends that UNDP, OHCHR and ILO facilitate dialogue and provide support to indigenous peoples in the areas of crisis prevention and democratic governance as they relate to extractive industries operating in indigenous territories in order to achieve more effective implementation and protection of indigenous peoples’ rights.

Responses

ILO reports (2011): The ILO continues to believe in and work to promote dialogue between indigenous peoples and relevant actors as a way to prevent conflicts. ILO Convention 169 addresses the issue of natural resources and provides clear guidance on how Governments should interact with indigenous peoples on the issue. The International Labour Office has invested in and will continue to enhance the capacity of various stakeholders, including Governments, employers, workers and indigenous peoples, on the practical implementation of the provisions of Convention 169 regarding natural resources
