E/2010/43 E/C.19/2010/15 Diversity, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), other relevant agencies, including the Forum and relevant indigenous organizations and non-governmental organizations, and decides to send the Chair of the Forum to report on the outcomes of the ninth session of the Permanent Forum regarding the theme. 24. The Permanent Forum calls upon UNESCO, the Secretariat of the Conference on Biological Diversity, UNDP, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the United Nations Development Group to support indigenous peoples in their process of cultural heritage restoration and strengthening. This process should be guided by indigenous peoples in order to avoid the misuse and distortion of indigenous peoples’ culture, practices and knowledge and to respect their perspectives and aspirations. 25. The Permanent Forum recommends that UNDP include indigenous peoples in its programme of democratic governance in order to support and strengthen indigenous institutions and enable indigenous peoples to enjoy their right to political participation and fortify their capacities for political conflict prevention and resolution. 26. The Permanent Forum recommends that States consider the document entitled “The human development framework and indigenous peoples’ self-determined development or development with culture and identity” (E/C.19/2010/CRP.4) and in particular pay attention to the conclusions and recommendations provided therein. 27. The Permanent Forum recommends that the International Council on Mining and Metals provide a list of at least 10 projects that they recommend as good practices in the involvement of indigenous peoples in mining operations and invite members of the Forum, members of affected indigenous peoples and indigenous experts to visit the project sites for the purpose of reporting back to the Forum at its tenth session. 28. The Permanent Forum requests that the secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues publish a second volume of the State of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, containing a section on development with culture and identity based on information from indigenous peoples’ organizations, United Nations agencies and States. 29. The Permanent Forum recommends that UNESCO, the Convention on Biological Diversity, UNICEF and other relevant United Nations agencies convene an expert meeting, in conjunction with the Forum, comprising intercultural and educational experts and United Nations agencies to explore themes and concepts related to bilingual, intercultural and multilingual education in the context of teaching in mother tongue indigenous languages. 30. The Permanent Forum notes that in order to facilitate the expert meeting, there is a need for country-specific situation analysis. The Forum invites UNESCO to conduct this analysis, given the agency’s experience and expertise in the area. The Forum also invites UNESCO to transmit the analysis to the Forum. The analysis should identify the legislative and/or policy frameworks that States employ to facilitate successful models of bilingual learning, multicultural and multilingual learning and mother tongue education and identify the barriers to implementation of those frameworks. 10-36959 5
