A/HRC/24/41 gather examples of specific extractive projects that are being carried out in or near indigenous peoples territories. The Special Rapporteur is grateful for the numerous contributions provided through these media from indigenous peoples, Governments, companies, and non-governmental organizations from around the world. 22. A second area of thematic focus of the Special Rapporteur has been to provide comments on the need to harmonize the myriad activities within the United Nations system that affect indigenous peoples. In 2012, the Special Rapporteur’s report to the General Assembly (A/67/301) provided an overview of the various processes and programmes within the United Nations system that are of particular relevance to indigenous peoples or about which indigenous peoples have expressed concern. These include processes and programmes related to UNESCO; the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations; the World Intellectual Property Organization; and the World Bank Group; as well as processes carried out within the framework of United Nations treaties like the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 23. The Special Rapporteur notes that the United Nations has done important work to promote the rights of indigenous peoples but that greater effort is needed to ensure that all actions within the United Nations system that affect indigenous peoples are in harmony with international standards, particularly those standards articulated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 27
