A/HRC/42/55 Proposal 6: Reprisals against human rights defenders, mandate holders and indigenous leaders 24. Pursuant to resolution 36/21, the Expert Mechanism calls on the Human Rights Council to address all allegations and condemn all reprisals against indigenous human rights defenders, including United Nations mandate holders working on the rights of indigenous peoples and representatives of indigenous peoples attending its sessions. Proposal 7: Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration 25. The Expert Mechanism proposes to the Human Rights Council that it call upon States, in the process of implementing the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and in all situations involving migration, both internally and across international borders, to recognize and respect the rights of indigenous peoples under the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and other international standards. The Expert Mechanism encourages States and United Nations agencies to refer to its study on the rights of indigenous peoples in the context of borders, migrations and displacement as guidance in this regard. Proposal 8: International repatriation of indigenous peoples’ sacred items and human remains 26. Recalling paragraph 27 of the outcome document of the high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, articles 11 and 12 of the Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples and recommendations of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the Expert Mechanism proposes that the Human Rights Council encourage the development of a mechanism to facilitate the international repatriation of indigenous peoples’ sacred items and human remains. Proposal 9: National action plans and legislation to achieve the ends of the Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples 27. The Expert Mechanism proposes to the Human Rights Council that it remind States of the commitment undertaken in the outcome document of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples to cooperate with indigenous peoples to develop and implement national action plans, legislation or other measures to achieve the ends of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In that regard, it proposes that the action plans be used as a tool to implement the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms, including the universal periodic review, the treaty bodies and the special procedures, and that States consider seeking the collaboration and support of their national human rights institutions and the Mechanism in the elaboration of those action plans. Inspired by the panel on indigenous women in power, at its twelfth session, the Mechanism proposes that the Council commend and promote the work of indigenous parliamentarians and others in positions of leadership, particularly indigenous women, in the promotion of the Declaration. Proposal 10: United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples 28. The Expert Mechanism proposes that the Human Rights Council continue urging States to contribute to the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples. The Mechanism also proposes that the Council urge Member States to support the expansion of the mandate of the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples to support grantees who put forward effective initiatives to implement recommendations of United Nations human rights mechanisms; the participation of indigenous peoples in the Forum on Business and Human Rights and in United Nations climate change processes; and the participation of indigenous peoples in the pre-sessions of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review. Proposal 11: Collaboration with the universal periodic review process 29. The Expert Mechanism reiterates its proposal that the Human Rights Council and Member States continue to draw increasingly on the Declaration on the Rights of 6
