A/HRC/27/30 report reflected their views. To that end, OHCHR Guatemala organized seminars for indigenous organizations and indigenous women, with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), respectively. The seminars enabled reflection on the current Millennium Development Goals framework and the results obtained so far. 7. World Conference on Indigenous Peoples 59. In its resolution 65/198, the General Assembly decided to organize a high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly, to be known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, to be held in 2014. The General Assembly also decided that the World Conference shall result in a concise, action-oriented outcome document, which should contribute to the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples, pursue the objectives of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and promote the achievement of all internationally agreed development goals (General Assembly resolution 66/296). 60. Further to those resolutions, indigenous peoples worldwide engaged in the process and organized regional and thematic caucus preparatory meetings. Moreover, in June 2013, the Sami Parliament of Norway organized a global indigenous preparatory meeting for the World Conference, in Alta, Norway. 61. The forthcoming Conference has the potential to raise the profile and impact of the United Nation’s work on indigenous peoples. OHCHR consistently highlights the importance of indigenous participation in its exchanges with various key interlocutors, and emphasizes the need to make sure that the Conference is organized not only on, but also with, indigenous peoples. 62. During the twenty-fourth session of the Human Rights Council, OHCHR organized a panel on indigenous peoples’ issues, which was devoted to the forthcoming World Conference. The panel participants discussed specific human rights issues of central concern to indigenous peoples, with a view to ensuring that human rights are firmly integrated not only in the World Conference, but in the preparatory and follow-up processes as well. The panel also considered ways and means to enhance synergies between States, indigenous peoples, the United Nations system and other relevant actors in view of the action-oriented results of the World Conference, in order to encourage concrete measures to improve the implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 63. In addition to calling for an inclusive process and integration of human rights standards in the Conference, OHCHR, through the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples, is playing a direct role in supporting indigenous peoples’ participation in the Conference. The General Assembly has expanded the mandate of the Fund to include support for indigenous peoples to participate in the World Conference and its preparatory process (resolution 66/296). The Fund will support the participation of 21 indigenous representatives to the interactive hearing as part of the preparations for the Conference and 84 indigenous representatives to the World Conference. 64. OHCHR field presences have also been actively engaged in the preparations for the Conference. For instance, the Regional Office for Central America is contributing to the regional study on the situation of indigenous peoples that is being conducted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean on the occasion of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, further to the recommendation of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. 65. The Regional Office for Southern Africa contributed information for a review of United Nations efforts for the realization of indigenous peoples’ rights in Namibia since 2009, which is intended as an information paper for the World Conference in the context of sharing 13
