E/2010/43 E/C.19/2010/15 43. The Permanent Forum welcomes the efforts of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to construe the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, regarding indigenous persons, taking into account the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Permanent Forum recommends that the Committee request relevant State parties to the Convention to prepare the sections relating to indigenous peoples in their reports on the implementation of the Convention in consultation and cooperation with indigenous peoples. 44. The Permanent Forum notes that the 2010 annual report of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations devotes increased attention to the implementation by States parties of conventions relevant to the rights of indigenous peoples. The Permanent Forum also notes that 6 of the 12 countries under individual observation on ILO Convention C169 in 2010 must submit a report in 2010, which indicates the serious concern of the Committee about compliance with the Convention by those countries. The Permanent Forum urges the relevant States to present their reports by the deadline established by ILO. 45. The Permanent Forum recommends that, during its June 2010 session, the Committee on the Application of Standards of the International Labour Conference follow up on the serious situations of violations of ILO Convention C169 mentioned in the relevant previous observations of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations, as well as its own 2009 conclusions regarding the implementation of the Convention. 46. The Permanent Forum urges all States to commit to a process, with the participation of indigenous peoples, responding to the country reports of all United Nations special rapporteurs, including: (a) Providing a written response to the rapporteur’s report, submitted to the Human Rights Council, within six months of the report’s issuance. The response should outline the State process for implementing the recommendations of the report; (b) Developing and publicly promoting a strategy to implement the recommendations of the report within 12 months of its issuance; (c) Providing annual updates of the rapporteur’s report detailing the implementation of the strategy until such time as the rapporteur conducts a new visit to the State in question, or until that State undergoes a universal periodic review. 47. The Permanent Forum recommends that all States with indigenous peoples review their legislation, policies and programmes in accordance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Programme of Action for the Second International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People. 48. The Permanent Forum supports the initiative of OHCHR to develop guidelines for the protection of peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact in the Amazon Region and the Gran Chaco, which are currently under consultation with indigenous organizations and the States concerned. The Permanent Forum recommends that, in developing the guidelines, attention be directed to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly in terms of the right to selfdetermination. The organizations in closest contact with those indigenous peoples that remain in voluntary isolation or initial contact should be involved in the elaboration of these guidelines. 8 10-36959
