A/HRC/33/58 107. Several responses from States showed encouraging progress in terms of efforts to adopt national legislation relating to indigenous peoples’ right to participate in decision-making. However, it was not always clear whether States were following the obligation to seek indigenous peoples’ free, prior and informed consent. 108. Responses from indigenous peoples provide examples of approaches and activities, including advocacy and awareness-raising, development of resources on the Declaration, training for indigenous communities and organizations, and translating the Declaration into indigenous languages. 109. However, few of the representatives of indigenous peoples who responded proposed overarching strategies for implementation of the Declaration. That may partly be due to the fact that most of the indigenous respondents work at the local level and are generally limited by a lack of financial resources and, in some cases, by a lack of will from State institutions to cooperate and engage with indigenous peoples. 110. Several responses from both indigenous peoples’ organizations and States point towards the fact that indigenous women, children, youth and persons with disabilities are in a particularly vulnerable situation. Targeted measures must be taken to address the situation of those groups. 111. Most indigenous peoples’ organizations reported a lack of attention devoted by States in considering the Declaration and, more generally, the rights of indigenous peoples. Those concerns hamper the effective implementation of the Declaration. 15
