E/2026/43 E/C.19/2026/6 entities, by 2027, to establish structured mechanisms of engagement with Indigenous Peoples, including Indigenous women, to ensure that Indigenous knowledge systems are accorded due weight in policies, programmes and decisions that affect them. 57. The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendation during its twenty-fourth session for Member States, by 2028, to develop and operationalize comprehensive, rights‑based disaggregated data frameworks, co‑designed with Indigenous Peoples and inclusive of Indigenous‑defined indicators and data governance safeguards. The Forum further urges Member States and United Nations entities to ensure that, by 2027, national statistical offices and relevant institutions receive targeted training on Indigenous-defined indicators and ethical, rights‑based data collection, with the meaningful participation of Indigenous experts. 58. As recognized by the Permanent Forum at its twenty‑fourth session, Indigenous Peoples are adversely affected by armed conflict and violence yet remain excluded from peacebuilding. Recalling their rights to life, integrity, liberty and security and to live collectively in peace, as affirmed in the Declaration, the Forum calls on Member States to ensure, by 2027, the full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples in all peace processes, and to implement, by 2030, peace agreements reached with their participation, in partnership with Indigenous Peoples’ representative institutions and with adequate resourcing. 59. The Permanent Forum calls upon Member States to ensure compliance with international law and to refrain from intimidating and persecuting Indigenous Peoples, including Indigenous leaders and Indigenous human rights defenders. 60. To prevent further harm to Indigenous Peoples, the Permanent Forum calls on the Russian Federation to comply with Security Council resolution 2774 (2025), which implores a swift end to the conflict and further urges a lasting peace between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, and to uphold the order of the International Court of Justice dated 16 March 2022, which states that the Russian Federation should immediately suspend the military operations in the territory of Ukraine. 61. The Permanent Forum calls on Member States, by 2027, to reform criminal justice laws, policies and practices in order to eliminate barriers to access to justice for Indigenous Peoples, including by ensuring culturally safe, trauma‑informed and gender‑responsive policing, legal aid, adjudication, language and detention services for Indigenous women and children. It further urges Member States, by 2030, to reduce the disproportionate incarceration of Indigenous Peoples, including through diversion, restorative justice and non‑custodial measures, and to prohibit and prevent the use of solitary confinement for Indigenous detainees, in full compliance with the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules), supported by independent oversight, disaggregated data collection and regular public reporting. 62. The Permanent Forum reiterates its recommendation during its twenty-fourth session and calls on Member States, by 2027, to initiate and sustain structured dialogues with Indigenous Peoples on identity, equality and non‑discrimination, grounded in the minimum standards reflected in the United Nations working definition of Indigenous Peoples, International Labour Organization Convention No. 169 and the principle of self‑identification. The Forum further urges Member States, by 2028, to review and repeal race‑based legislation and policies, including those based on blood quantum, that undermine Indigenous Peoples’ rights to identity and self‑determination. In this regard, the Forum calls on Canada to take immediate and concrete legislative measures to fully and finally eliminate all remaining gender discrimination in the Indian Act, in partnership with Indigenous Peoples and in accordance with international human rights standards. 12/24 26-06676
