A/72/186 85. The Declaration offers a historical opportunity to change the relationship of Member States with indigenous peoples from one of exclusion and marginalization into one of reconciliation, cooperation and respect. The adoption of the Declaration was, by itself, a first step by Member States, to start this new relationship and remedy past injustices and their contemporary consequences. 86. Ten years after its adoption, and in spite of the reaffirmation of the commitment to the Declaration made at the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in 2014, the Special Rapporteur has to conclude that there has been limited progress in the actual implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples. This is observed in particular with regard to the core rights of indigenous peoples to self-determination and their rights to their lands, territories and resources. This conclusion is based on the work of the mandate holder since 2007. 87. The only way to move forward is by taking actions in good faith. This entails the holding of intercultural dialogues that are inclusive and carried out with full respect for international human rights standards. This is not to say that there has not been any progress. Many of the gains achieved so far have been outlined in the earlier sections of this report. It has to be recognized that most of these gains have been achieved because of the heightened awareness among indigenous peoples of their rights enshrined in the Declaration. They have actively organized themselves and engaged with Governments to push for the implementation of the Declaration. However, these gains do not match the expectations of indigenous peoples in terms of changes that could have taken place through an effective implementation of the Declaration. 88. The Special Rapporteur wishes to summarize a set of areas to which Member States should pay special attention in the development of the necessary legal, policy and other measures to implement the Declaration. The mandate holder has provided detailed recommendations on actions to be taken in all these areas, as referenced throughout the report, which could be referred to for further guidance. The Special Rapporteur hopes that the implementation of the recommendations offered by the mandate holder during the past decade can provide useful guidance to States and non-State actors. Recommendations 89. Recognition of indigenous peoples as distinct peoples entitled to the collective and individual human rights enshrined in the Declaration is a precondition for its implementation. 90. All measures and actions should be developed in cooperation with indigenous peoples, as stated in the Declaration. 91. Domestic legal frameworks should be reviewed in order to ensure coherence with international human rights standards on the rights of indigenous peoples. New legislation should be developed where necessary or existing legislation amended. Any provisions which contravene the rights of indigenous peoples should be repealed. 92. Public policies must be put in place as part of a coordinated and systematic action of the State to empower indigenous peoples to control their own destiny, through support for their own development priorities. 93.
