A/HRC/27/30 30. OHCHR field presences also supported civil society organizations working on indigenous peoples’ rights to engage with the human rights mechanisms. For instance, in Kenya the Office assisted organizations in preparing the shadow report of the African Commission and the parallel report to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In Belize, OHCHR provided technical assistance to indigenous peoples’ organizations on how to engage with the human rights mechanisms. 31. OHCHR Guatemala provided technical assistance to indigenous organizations on indigenous peoples’ rights and access to regional human rights mechanisms, including with preparing a petition to submit to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding the lack of consultation of indigenous peoples, in general, and with the case of the Entre Ríos hydroelectric project. The Office also facilitated dialogue for civil society organizations, including indigenous organizations, to prepare the alternative report for submission to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and provided assistance to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with disseminating the recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. 32. OHCHR Bolivia, in coordination with ILO, provided assistance and support to the Guarani Indigenous Peoples University of Bolivia and Lowland “Apiaguaiki Tupa” (UNIBOL) for a new course on the “rights of indigenous peoples in the universal system of human rights and introduction to cultural expertise”.

In 2013, OHCHR published Fact sheet No. 9/Rev.2, entitled Indigenous Peoples and the United Nations Human Rights System, which contains a summary of indigenous peoples’ rights, an overview of international and regional human rights bodies and mechanisms relating to indigenous peoples as well as a description of the activities of OHCHR and other United Nations agencies engaged in indigenous peoples’ issues. The publication is currently available in English, Russian and Spanish.3 34. OHCHR continued to develop its close engagement with national human rights institutions (NHRIs) on indigenous issues. Through wide-ranging consultations, OHCHR and the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (APF) completed the manual, The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: A Manual for National Human Rights Institutions, in 2013. Intended to strengthen NHRI engagement in and initiatives focusing on the human rights of indigenous peoples, the manual gives the background and context of the Declaration and addresses measures that NHRIs can take at the national and international levels to protect and promote indigenous peoples’ rights. The manual also contains examples of good practices from different NHRIs to illustrate effective ways of implementing the Declaration, building on such practices as the national inquiry into the land rights of indigenous peoples by the National Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM), the report of which was published in 2013. 35.
