A/HRC/21/23 peoples through a regional mechanism for consultation with indigenous peoples established by the Regional Office in 2010. 19. The Office in Guatemala continued to support the role of indigenous authorities in the protection of the right to land and territories and the right to consultation. Activities included the organization of a meeting jointly with the indigenous authorities in Totonicapan on the occasion of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People, with the participation of indigenous authorities from all over the country. The meeting aimed to discuss the indigenous peoples’ current land situation and joint strategies to protect access to land and territories. In the context of the Maya Programme (funded by the Government of Norway), the Office implemented the third year of the “Technical Training Programme for Strategic Human Rights Litigation for Indigenous Peoples’ Rights”. Fifteen organizations have already started presenting their cases before the administrative and judicial bodies, including before the Constitutional Court of Guatemala. 20. In Ecuador, the Human Rights Adviser participated in several hearings and workshops organized by the Commission of Justice and State Structure of the National Assembly jointly with experts, academics and indigenous leaders concerning the draft law on the coordination and cooperation between ordinary and indigenous systems of justice. The Human Rights Adviser also produced jointly with the Ecuadorian Ministry of Justice, Human Rights and Cults and the Ministry of Heritage a video entitled “Living Justice”, which, by depicting three real cases of indigenous justice, aims to foster informed debates about indigenous justice and its relation with the official justice system in Ecuador. It has further developed four training modules on the rights of indigenous peoples for national police, military, national human rights institution and judicial officials. Technical assistance was also provided to the magistrates of the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court on international human rights standards on indigenous peoples. 21. In Burundi, the Human Rights and Justice Section of the United Nations Office organized a workshop to raise awareness about the human rights situation of the indigenous Batwa community. The Office also organized a series of events to mark the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People in the province of Muramvya in 2011. 22. OHCHR field presences also consistently supported the work of special procedure mandate holders and provided support to the country visits of the High Commissioner. For example, the Regional Office for the Pacific provided support to the High Commissioner’s visit to Australia where she welcomed the national apology and the formal recognition by Australia of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, but also raised concerns regarding Aboriginal and Torres Islander indigenous peoples and called for a fundamental rethink of the measures being taken under the Northern Territory Emergency Response. The Regional Office also sought to facilitate dialogue with the Minister for Indigenous Affairs regarding the “Stronger Futures” draft legislation that is proposed to replace the Northern Territory Emergency Response legislation. 23. OHCHR also started a process to prepare guidance for its field presences on consultation with indigenous peoples by collecting practices pursued so far in various regions, ranging from the work of the Regional Office in South-East Asia and country office in Cambodia to field presences in Central and South America. 7
