periodic review process.

of Indigenous Peoples
12.
The Expert Mechanism:
(a)

rights defenders are guaranteed a safe working environment and security in compliance

periodic review cycles, the Declaration be explicitly included in the list of standards on
which the universal periodic review process is based.

financial institutions

The Expert Mechanism proposes to the Council that it call upon States with stakes in
major international development banks, including the World Bank, to engage in dialogue

application are in compliance with international human rights law, including the United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and International Labour
Organization Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169).
