A/HRC/30/52 66. Many participants emphasized that increasing international tourism had often led to the violations of the rights of indigenous peoples to their lands, territories and resources, sacred sites and cultural locations, the right to self-determination and the right to determine their own development. Similarly, many participants discussed the negative effects of militarization, particularly acts of violence against and extra-judicial killings of indigenous peoples and the violations of their rights relating to traditional lands, territories and resources. They highlighted how militarization and development often combined to feed into serious and systematic violations of indigenous peoples’ human rights. X. Proposals to be submitted to the Human Rights Council 67. The Chair-Rapporteur invited observers to share their recommendations regarding the Expert Mechanism’s proposals to the Human Rights Council. 68. Some participants provided suggested themes for future studies of the Expert Mechanism, including links between militarization, development and the rights of indigenous peoples and a study focusing on mechanisms for redress, remedies, restitution and repatriation in conformity with articles 11, 27, 28 and 40 of the Declaration. Other suggested themes included the ways in which national human rights institutions could aid in the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples; human rights violations impacting indigenous peoples in the field of tourism; and genocide and indigenous peoples. 69. There were some general proposals, including that the Expert Mechanism, through the Human Rights Council, should encourage treaty bodies and the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review to scrutinize the reports and human rights records of States in order to address rights ritualism effectively. That should include ensuring that States claims were systematically compared to the concerns raised by indigenous peoples and civil society. 70. The Chair-Rapporteur suggested that the Expert Mechanism could examine actions and policies of financial institutions that had negative impacts on indigenous peoples’ rights. XI. Consultation on the United Nations system-wide action plan to ensure a coherent approach to achieving the ends of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 71. The eighth session provided the time for a consultation with States and indigenous peoples on the United Nations system-wide action plan to ensure a coherent approach to achieving the ends of the Declaration, as called for in paragraph 31 of the outcome document of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples. The consultation was facilitated by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in cooperation with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. 72. A number of Member States expressed their support for the development of the action plan. Indigenous representatives, while also supportive of the development of the action plan, raised a number of concerns, including the need to catalogue and disseminate good practices of United Nations entities in relation to indigenous peoples and the need to address violence against indigenous women. They also stressed the importance of United Nations entities working more closely with indigenous peoples, consulting them and identifying specific focal points or offices that work on indigenous peoples’ issues. 73. A number of speakers said that, although the action plan was to be developed within existing resources, that would constitute a major challenge to its implementation. The 16
