A/HRC/18/26 and recommendations among such key stakeholders as national human rights institutions, the international community and civil society. OHCHR Nepal also supported the participation of indigenous peoples in the preparation of the State report submitted for the review. IV. Conclusions 79. During the period under review, OHCHR further strengthened its work to advance the rights of indigenous peoples at the country level and increased its efforts to clarify concepts contained in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The work facilitated consultative processes in Bolivia (Plurinational State of) and elsewhere, as well as the adoption of new legislation, including the law on indigenous peoples in the Congo. 80. Through various activities with the United Nations country teams, Governments and civil society, OHCHR also built the capacity of indigenous communities to advance their rights. 81. Furthermore, OHCHR promoted cooperation and coordination within the United Nations system and among the three United Nations mandates dedicated to indigenous issues. A key development was the launch of the United Nations Indigenous Peoples Partnership, which endeavours to advance the implementation of the Declaration as “one United Nations” in partnership with indigenous peoples and States. 82. In addition to the work of the United Nations mechanisms devoted to the rights of indigenous peoples, human rights treaty bodies and the universal periodic review process frequently highlighted gaps and recommended measures to advance the rights of indigenous peoples in line with the Declaration. The extension of the mandate of the Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Populations will now allow an increasing number of indigenous peoples to attend the sessions of treaty bodies and the Human Rights Council to give greater visibility to their issues. 83. During the period under review, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples received further endorsements by Member States, and confirmed its role as a global tool for advancing these rights. OHCHR and various human rights mechanisms also pursued a broad range of activities and initiatives to help Member States, indigenous peoples and others concerned to make sure that the principles of the Declaration are reflected in laws, policies and practices. 17
