A/72/186 indigenous representative organizations. Nevertheless, challenges still remain for the recognition of indigenous peoples’ own institutions and organizations in many countries, including restrictive legalisation and registration processes. 56 50. Finally, independent national human rights institutions have a critical role to play with regard to promoting and monitoring national laws and policies, their harmonization with international human rights standards, including the Declaration, and State compliance. Some independent national human rights institutions have incorporated indigenous members, or sections on indigenous issues, have developed good monitoring practices, and have promoted dialogue on the rights of indigenous peoples in their countries. 57 Countries where independent national human rights institutions have promoted the rights of indigenous peoples include Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, the Philippines, Kenya, Namibia and the United Republic of Tanzania. IX. Priority areas that require urgent attention 51. Notwithstanding the achievements mentioned above in terms of l egal, policy and institutional frameworks, there are specific priority areas that present serious challenges for the fulfilment of the aims of the Declaration. This section provides a brief summary of those priority areas in which progress is more urgently needed, including references to guidance provided by the mandate holder to this effect. A. Lands, territories and resources 52. The Declaration contains a set of collective rights that are fundamental for the survival of indigenous peoples as distinct peoples, as underlined by international, regional and national law and jurisprudence. These are their right to self determination and the related rights over their lands, territories and natural resources, on which the enjoyment of the whole panoply of their human rights depends. The Declaration states the “urgent need” to respect and promote the inherent rights of indigenous peoples, “especially their rights to their lands, territories and resources”. 58 Therefore, it is a serious concern that the most common complaints brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur are precisely violations of indigenous peoples’ collective rights to their lands, territories and resources. 53. As already mentioned, several countries have developed legal instrume nts and administrative and other measures to recognize indigenous rights to land and resources, including processes of land demarcation, title -clearing, dispute settlement, and others. Yet, even in those countries, implementation of legislation and policies is inadequate and indigenous peoples continue to be dispossessed of their traditional lands and resources and forcibly displaced, including by State sponsored infrastructure, agribusiness, extractive projects and conservation __________________ 56 57 58 14/23 See A/HRC/21/47/Add.2 (2012); A/HRC/24/41/Add.1 (2013); and A/HRC/27/52/Add.4, communication with Bolivia.
