A/HRC/EMRIP/2019/2 is fundamental to reduce conflict, including intercommunity conflict, as well as strengthen indigenous territorial governance. States should also support the resolution of overlapping claims between indigenous peoples created by their relocation, forced or otherwise, by means of financial and other resources, such as dispute resolution services. States should ensure remedies, reparations and compensation for past and ongoing displacement and relocation of indigenous peoples. 8. States should ensure that the rights of indigenous peoples are respected when carrying out commercial, development, climate change mitigation and conservation projects, including their right to consultation and free, prior and informed consent, and should adopt the recommendations as advised in the study on that theme (A/HRC/39/62), and the provision of restitution and compensation as contained in the Declaration. They should involve indigenous peoples in their strategies on climate change in order to take advantage of their traditional knowledge, valuable for ecosystem conservation. 9. Indigenous peoples should be made aware of their rights under international human rights law, including the Declaration, and options for taking cases domestically, regionally and internationally. 10. States should collect and analyse disaggregated data on indigenous peoples, in cooperation/agreement with indigenous peoples, including on the basis of sex, age, disability and all those crossing borders (internal and international) in order to develop policies and programmes. 11. States should pursue policies that promote the self-determination of indigenous peoples, avoid assimilationist policies and have an intercultural focus, to ensure that those who have migrated from their ancestral lands, including from rural to urban environments, are able to maintain a link to their indigenous culture and identity. This could include indigenous peoples’ centres in urban areas to address their needs and provide assistance, including support mechanisms for voluntary return to their original communities. The active and full participation of indigenous peoples through their own representative institutions is crucial in developing, designing and implementing policies that affect them. 12. States should ensure that indigenous peoples have adequate living conditions, as well as essential and culturally appropriate social services, including relevant services for vulnerable groups and those fleeing conflict, ensuring that their needs are recognized and their suffering not compounded. 13. States should guarantee greater investment and development opportunities in rural areas for indigenous peoples, with a focus on traditional occupations, with full respect for indigenous peoples’ own development concepts. 14. States should use the Sustainable Development Goal process to develop new State policies and practices to implement the Goals relating to migration. 15. States should integrate indigenous issues across the international development sector and consider how resources in the sector can assist developing States in addressing the displacement, relocation and resettlement of indigenous peoples.3 16. States should work with indigenous peoples to adopt measures to better identify indigenous people at the borders (internal and international) and address the specificities of their needs in terms of interpretation, due process, culturally adapted services and collective decision-making, taking into account the particular needs of vulnerable groups (women, children, persons with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, as well as recently contacted and indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation, while respecting their preferences. 3 20 Case Studies on Leaving No One Behind: A Companion Volume to the Development Co-operation Report 2018, available at www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/case-studies-on-leaving-no-onebehind_9789264309333-en; Australia submission.
