A/HRC/33/27
68.
During the period under review, OHCHR further expanded its work on
advancing the rights of indigenous peoples at the country level, enhanced inter-agency
cooperation and engaged more closely with multilateral development entities to
produce tools and achieve sustainable results. Much of that work builds on the
outcome document of the high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly known
as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, in which States committed
themselves to developing national action plans with a view to achieving the ends of the
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and to strengthening
the mandate of the Expert Mechanism. OHCHR will support the development of such
action plans, including by preparing a manual and by providing case-by-case advice.
OHCHR will continue to support the work of members of the Inter-Agency Support
Group on Indigenous Peoples’ Issues and others to promote system-wide follow-up to
the outcome document.
69.
The present report contains information on many achievements at the
international level and some successes at the country level. Much remains to be done,
however, to fill the gaps in national policies and strategies and to achieve full
compliance with the Declaration and the outcome document.
