A/HRC/30/52 Declaration. Participants highlighted the need for selection criteria that differentiated indigenous peoples from civil society and academics. 34. It was also recommended that the Human Rights Council take up the invitation contained in the outcome document to consider examining the causes and consequences of violence against indigenous women and girls, including by holding a panel discussion on the rights of indigenous women and by encouraging the Secretary-General to issue specific recommendations for action to address that issue. Some participants highlighted the need to be cognizant of the multiple forms of discrimination faced by indigenous persons with disabilities and to ensure that indigenous persons with disabilities were always taken into consideration by human rights mechanisms. V. Panel discussion on indigenous peoples’ human rights in relation to business enterprises 35. Mr. Barume opened the panel discussion on indigenous peoples’ rights in relation to business enterprises by welcoming participants and introducing the panellists. He drew attention to the Expert Mechanism’s work on that subject, including the follow-up report on indigenous peoples and the right to participate in decision-making, with a focus on extractive industries (A/HRC/21/55). 36. The OHCHR Adviser on Business and Human Rights provided an overview of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. She discussed the historical background to the Guiding Principles and its key elements: the State’s duty to protect human rights, the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, and access to remedy for victims. She provided examples of how both States and enterprises had implemented the Guiding Principles. She highlighted opportunities for indigenous peoples within that process, including the use of the framework for advocacy and policy development and indigenous peoples’ participation in national action plan processes. 37. Pavel Sulyandziga, a member of the Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises, emphasized the importance of dialogue between all stakeholders: indigenous peoples, businesses and States. He discussed the work of the Working Group in promoting the effective implementation of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including through the development of national action plans, and urged indigenous peoples to use that instrument as a tool for the protection of their rights at the national and international levels. He also drew attention to the fact that, in its reports to the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly, the Working Group had addressed the impact of business enterprises on the rights of indigenous peoples. He emphasized the importance of free, prior and informed consent and stressed that the implementation of the Guiding Principles should be informed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. He encouraged indigenous peoples to participate in the Forum on Business and Human Rights, which would take place in Geneva from 16 to 18 November 2015. He stressed that the endorsement of national action plans on business and human rights could lead to national discussions on human rights violations linked to business and could also become valuable remedy tools. 38. Agnes Leina, a representative of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee, provided a regional perspective from Africa, focusing on potential risks to indigenous peoples stemming from extractive industries and the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa, supported by the African Development Bank, among others. She emphasized the fact that, under the current development model in Africa, the gains from extractive industry and infrastructure development tended to benefit a small 10
