The Saami Parliament of Finland indicated that the Parliament of Finland had provisions on the obligation to hear the Saami people in its rules of procedure. According to those rules, a committee considering a Government bill or other issue concerning the Saami people in particular must reserve the right for representatives of the Saami people to be heard by the committee. However, that provision did not require the committee to take account of proposals made by the Saami Parliament. J. Raising awareness about the Declaration 92. The questionnaire posed the following question to States: “Has the State taken measures to raise awareness about the Declaration among various sectors of society, including Parliamentarians, the judiciary, the civil service, and indigenous peoples?” 93. In the outcome document of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, States committed themselves to promoting awareness of the Declaration among all sectors of the society, including members of the legislatures, the judiciary and the civil service (General Assembly resolution 69/2, para. 7). 94.
