A/HRC/60/29 114. The United Nations system and the international community should: (a) Promote the participation of Indigenous Peoples who self-identify as such and ensure that engagement mechanisms reflect the distinct status and rights of Indigenous Peoples under international law; (b) Avoid conflation of Indigenous Peoples with local communities in practice and in language; when both terms are used in documents, include a footnote or a disclaimer clarifying that the use of the term “Indigenous Peoples” next to the term “local communities” does not imply that the two groups enjoy the same rights under international law. 20 GE.25-12002
