A/HRC/21/23 Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief in his report on a visit to Paraguay (A/HRC/19/60/Add.1) encouraged the Government to pay more systematic attention to the structural vulnerability of members of indigenous peoples, especially in rural areas in the context of missionary activities. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur on the right to food addressed indigenous peoples’ issues in a number of contexts, including in the report on his visit to Mexico (A/HRC/19/59/Add.2), where he drew attention, inter alia, to the marked differences in relevant right to food indicators between indigenous and non-indigenous populations. C. Treaty bodies 31. Several treaty bodies addressed indigenous peoples’ rights in their sessions during the reporting period, making observations on themes ranging from access to medical care to the need to respect the principle of free, prior and informed consent in connection with economic activities in indigenous peoples’ traditional lands and territories. 32. For example, the Human Rights Committee held its 103rd session from 17 October to 4 November 2011 and referred to indigenous peoples in its concluding observations on Norway (CCPR/C/NOR/CO/6). The Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights held its fortysixth session between 2 and 20 May 2011 and raised questions concerning indigenous peoples in the Russian Federation (E/C.12/RUS/CO/5) and at its forty-seventh session from 14 November to 2 December 2011 the Committee addressed indigenous peoples’ issues in the concluding observations concerning Argentina (E/C.12/ARG/CO/3). The Committee on the Rights of the Child held its fifty-seventh session between 30 May and 17 June 2011 and issued conclusions and recommendations concerning indigenous peoples in Costa Rica (CRC/C/CRI/CO/4) and Finland (CRC/C/FIN/CO/4), and the same Committee addressed indigenous issues in Panama (CRC/C/PAN/CO/3-4) during its fifty-eighth session from 19 September to 7 October 2011. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination held its seventy-ninth session from 8 August to 2 September in 2011 and raised indigenous peoples’ issues in its concluding observations on Paraguay (CERD/C/PRY/CO/1-3). Indigenous peoples in Paraguay were addressed also in the concluding observations by the Committee against Torture during its forty-seventh session from 31 October to 25 November 2011 (CAT/C/PRY/CO/4-6) and by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women during its fiftieth session from 3 to 21 October 2011 (CEDAW/C/PRY/CO/6). The same committee also commented on the situation of indigenous peoples in Nepal at its forty-ninth session from 11 to 29 July 2011 (CEDAW/C/NPL/CO/4-5). D. Universal periodic review 33. Issues concerning indigenous peoples were frequently addressed in the context of the universal periodic review throughout its first cycle. They were raised in many national reports, compilations of United Nations information, summaries of stakeholders’ information and recommendations, including those made at the two sessions covered by the present report. For example, at the eleventh universal periodic review session from 2 to 13 May 2011, recommendations with explicit references to indigenous peoples were made in respect of Denmark, Papua New Guinea and Surinam and during the twelfth session from 3 to 14 October 2011 recommendations with references to indigenous peoples were made in the contexts of the reviews of Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. 9
