A/HRC/27/30 application of ILO Convention No. 169, the ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR), requested Paraguay to provide information on the effect given to the guidelines. In September 2013, CERD examined the periodic report of Venezuela and urged the State to increase the protection afforded to indigenous peoples living in the Amazon and to take into account the aforementioned guidelines (CERD/C/VEN/CO/1921). The guidelines have also been used as a reference to address the situation of conflictaffected indigenous peoples living in isolation in Ecuador. 36. OHCHR is working on guidance for its field presences on consultation with indigenous peoples, which is aimed at providing legal and operational guidance to OHCHR staff on promoting and implementing indigenous peoples’ rights to consultation, particularly at the country level. In May 2013, the Office organized a regional seminar in Peru to share and discuss the content of the planned guidance with OHCHR field presences, indigenous representatives and other relevant United Nations agencies. Representatives from the Minister of Culture of Peru and the Office of the Ombudsman also participated in the seminar. D. Selected areas of focus 1. Indigenous women’s rights 37. OHCHR continued to work on promoting indigenous women’s rights through, inter alia, training and capacity-building for indigenous women, strengthening indigenous women’s networks, facilitating dialogue among stakeholders, advocating for the integration of a gender perspective in national processes relating to indigenous peoples and launching public campaigns with emphasis on racial and ethnic discrimination against women. For example, OHCHR Regional Office for South America continued to advocate for the inclusion of indigenous women in the negotiations between Government of Chile and indigenous peoples on a proposal to amend current legislation on consultation and participation of indigenous peoples in decision-making processes with a view to aligning it with international standards. 38. OHCHR Regional Office for Central America continued to work on promoting indigenous women’s rights by facilitating spaces for dialogue between indigenous women and governmental institutions. As a result, several agreements were reached between indigenous women and public institutions, including commitments by the Ministry of Labour to facilitate access to employment for indigenous peoples, the electoral tribunal to take concrete action to fulfil indigenous peoples’ right to registration at birth and other public institutions to develop training programmes for indigenous women. The Office also developed training and audiovisual materials to promote the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples among indigenous women. 39. In October 2013, OHCHR participated in the World Conference of Indigenous Women, organized by indigenous organizations in Lima, Peru. At that conference, OHCHR facilitated the session on the implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples in the United Nations system. The outcome document of the conference contains proposals aimed at ensuring that the rights of indigenous women, youth and children are taken into consideration in upcoming processes, such as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples and the post-2015 development agenda. In January 2014, OHCHR contributed to the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues Expert Group meeting on sexual health and reproductive rights, which considered ways to address the sexual health and reproductive rights of indigenous peoples.
