The Human Rights Adviser in Bangladesh has been promoting the use of and interaction with international human rights mechanisms by various indigenous peoples’ organizations and the International Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission. He works closely with United Nations agencies, programmes and funds to ensure that the principles contained in the Declaration are integrated into ongoing and planned United Nations programmes and activities, such as the Chittagong Hill Tracts development programme and a new nation-wide United Nations programme related to indigenous peoples. 57. The office in the Plurinational State of Bolivia sought to strengthen coordination mechanisms among relevant United Nations and other actors with a view to developing a plan of action to facilitate the implementation of the Declaration. It also provided technical assistance to representatives of indigenous peoples who participated in the fourteenth session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. 58. The office in Guatemala, with a view to prioritizing human rights, helped to develop a work plan for a donor group called the Working Group on Indigenous Peoples. In the framework of the periodic assessment of Guatemala by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the office assisted with the elaboration of an internal document by the Multicultural Society and Diversity Inter-Agency Group. The document reviews the United Nations system’s role in helping Guatemala to implement the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. 59.
