Finally, the Expert Mechanism adopted a proposal addressing the responsibilities of United Nations specialized agencies in promoting respect for and full application of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In presenting the proposal, the Chairperson-Rapporteur said that the proposal is self-explanatory, and hence does not require any further introduction. 91. The Chairperson-Rapporteur informed the participants that the narrative part of the report on the second session was still in draft form and would not be circulated to the participants. She added that the report would be finalized and adopted after the session, before being submitting to the Human Rights Council at its twelfth session. 92. In her closing statement, the Chairperson-Rapporteur expressed her deep appreciation to all participants for their excellent cooperation throughout the session and appealed for continued support and contribution to the work of the Expert Mechanism. She also expressed appreciation to the Secretariat for the organization of the session. 93. She welcomed the enhanced cooperation with other United Nations mandates relevant to indigenous peoples, in particular with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people, the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, regional and national human rights institutions and the treaty bodies during the Expert Mechanism’s intersessional activities. The Chairperson-Rapporteur said that the Special Rapporteur’s availability throughout the session to receive information and communication from indigenous peoples on alleged violations of their human rights is a good example of effective coordination and cooperation of human rights bodies. She also expressed special appreciation for the participation of representatives of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and for that of national human rights institutions. 94. The Chairperson-Rapporteur thanked the representative of the Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Populations and appealed for increased contribution to the Fund.
