A/HRC/4/77 page 10 also implementing training activities to enhance the capacity of indigenous community organizations and local leaders to claim their rights and to monitor the implementation of international recommendations on indigenous people, with a special focus on the rights of indigenous women. In this context, OHCHR has engaged in comprehensive research on the specific situation of the rights of indigenous women, and the results of this work are expected in 2007. 28. A project on access to justice for indigenous peoples has just been completed. It provides an analysis, among other matters, of how indigenous customs and norms are taken into account in cases in the State justice system, the availability of interpreters or translators in indigenous languages and practices regarding the right to physical security and integrity. The study also interviewed over 1,000 prisoners, of whom two thirds were indigenous, reviewed court files and interviewed judges, defence and prosecution attorneys, as well as indigenous authorities. The study, which will soon be made public, makes various practical recommendations for action to implement human rights for indigenous peoples in the Mexican context. 29. Training workshops have been conducted with state and federal public defenders and judges in the states of Guerrero and Queretaro, and a study on litigation strategies to implement indigenous rights in Mexico is being prepared. OHCHR has organized training activities for lawyers and anthropologists to strengthen multidisciplinary approaches for the implementation of indigenous rights in the criminal justice context. It is likely that the report findings will form part of the mandatory training programme for staff of the office of the federal Public Defender in 2007. 30. In Guatemala, the visit of the Special Rapporteur from 15 to 17 May 2006 made a major impact. The visit created opportunities for renewing contacts with key actors, officials, and representatives of civil society and indigenous communities, and contributed to a constructive dialogue, allowing for an analysis of the progress made and of the continuing challenges in relation to implementation of the recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur following his mission in 2002. As part of the follow up to his visit, OHCHR has undertaken activities with the Presidential Commission to Combat Discrimination and Racism against the Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala and provided assistance to the Office of the Ombudsperson for Indigenous Women to elaborate a report on “Access by indigenous women to administration of justice in Guatemala”. OHCHR will be involved in disseminating the report and its recommendations. The project also includes a strategy to promote affirmative action for the education of indigenous women. 31. OHCHR in Colombia notes that indigenous peoples, in particular indigenous women, face serious human rights violations and breaches of international humanitarian law, as a result of the continuing internal armed conflict, the insecurity and the impact of massive projects in their territories. During the year, OHCHR continued monitoring the human rights situation of indigenous communities and particularly communities which are facing a serious risk of extinction, such as the Nukak Makú of the department of Guaviare. In collaboration with other agencies of the United Nations system, OHCHR assisted the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC), which organized an international verification mission to five regions of the country. The objective of the mission was to look into the humanitarian and human rights situation of the indigenous population and in particular to follow up on the recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of
