A/HRC/21/47/Add.2 94. The Government should investigate the allegations of serious irregularities in the procedures involving existing agricultural and extraction projects, with a view to developing new consultation processes if necessary. National parks and protected areas 95. The Government should review its policy on establishing national parks and protected areas in order to ensure that they do not infringe the rights of indigenous peoples to their lands and natural resources within these areas. It should also remedy the situations in which the establishment of national parks or protected areas has hindered the enjoyment of these rights. 96. In addition, the Government should guarantee suitable processes for consultation with indigenous peoples when a proposal is made to establish a national park or protected area that might adversely affect them. It should also encourage and take measures to ensure that the indigenous peoples who live in or around these areas share in any tourism or other benefits generated by these sites if they so wish. 97. With regard to Quebrada de Humahuaca, listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site, the Federal Government, the provincial government of Jujuy and representatives of UNESCO should increase the participation of indigenous peoples from the surrounding areas in the management of the site, while ensuring that these peoples can continue to carry out their traditional and subsistence activities within Quebrada de Humahuaca. Evictions and access to justice 98. The multiple cases of evictions of members of indigenous peoples from land claimed by them on the basis of their traditional or ancestral occupation of it are of great concern to indigenous peoples throughout the country. 99. The Special Rapporteur calls on the Federal Government and, especially, the provincial governments and the courts, to apply the letter and spirit of Act No. 26160 and Act No. 26554 and suspend all legal or administrative proceedings to evict indigenous communities until a technical and legal survey has been conducted of the lands occupied by indigenous peoples. In particular, immediate measures should be taken to respond to the demands of indigenous communities facing an imminent risk of eviction.13 100. All necessary measures should also be taken to remove any obstacles faced by indigenous peoples in their efforts to obtain access to justice, especially in relation to their efforts to protect their rights to their lands and natural resources.14 101. Training programmes should be launched for judicial officials at the federal and provincial levels on national and international standards concerning indigenous peoples, and in particular on their rights to their lands and natural resources. This could include discussion forums for judicial officials and, inter alia, academics, jurists and representatives of the United Nations system, for the purpose of exchanging experiences and knowledge in this area. 13 14 GE.12-14947 See also CCPR/C/ARG/CO/4, CERD/C/ARG/CO/19-20, paras. 20 and 26.
