A/HRC/30/52 tenure before extractive operations were undertaken on the territory of the Maya communities. 45. He indicated that national human rights institutions could be play a key role at the national level in the implementation of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. He emphasized the need to engage chambers of commerce as relevant stakeholders at the national level during discussions about business enterprises and human rights. 46. Mr. Tsykarev supported the establishment of national action plans on business and human rights, which should include legislative efforts, codification and systematization of national laws linked to indigenous peoples and business enterprises. Those efforts would also facilitate the harmonization of legislation at all levels. He underlined the connections between the cultural rights of indigenous peoples and the influence of industries, which was highlighted in the study of the Expert Mechanism on the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples with respect to their cultural heritage. He proposed making use of the capacity of the Expert Mechanism to facilitate a sustainable process of consultation between indigenous peoples, governments and businesses. He suggested organizing a side event at the forthcoming Forum on Business and Human Rights on indigenous peoples’ human rights and business enterprises. VI. Post-2015 development agenda and indigenous peoples’ rights 47. Mr. Mansayagan, opening the discussion, pointed out some of the gaps in the post2015 development goals from the perspective of indigenous peoples. He stated that the post-2015 development agenda would constitute the international community’s road map for development in the forthcoming years. Referring to the conclusion of the panel discussion during the seventh session of the Expert Mechanism, he outlined some key elements, such as the need to fully integrate indigenous peoples’ perspectives into the post2015 development agenda; the need for indicators of well-being and sustainability instead of purely economic indicators; and the need to recognize the right to free, prior and informed consent. He highlighted the fact that, following a proposal from the Expert Mechanism, the Human Rights Council had encouraged States to give due consideration to all the rights of indigenous peoples in the process of the elaboration of the post-2015 development agenda and to take measures to ensure the participation of indigenous peoples, and in particular indigenous youth, in national processes for the implementation of the new development goals (Council resolution 27/13, para. 15). He expressed concern at the absence of references to free, prior and informed consent in the final draft of the goals, and at the fact that indigenous peoples were grouped together with other vulnerable sectors of society. 48. Indigenous representatives regretted the fact that their concerns had been inadequately reflected in the final draft of the sustainable development goals and the fact that indigenous peoples were explicitly mentioned under only two targets (goal 2 and goal 4). The new development goals must reflect the concerns of indigenous peoples, in line with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Some participants stated that national human rights institutions could be instrumental partners in ensuring that indigenous peoples participated in national-level plans and strategies for the implementation of the new goals. Participants commended the priority given to disaggregated data in the post-2015 development goals and stressed the need to include such data across all relevant indicators and targets of the 17 goals. 12
