A/HRC/24/51 Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to secure compliance with the goals of the Declaration. 101. The primary strategy of the NNTC is to advocate for governments and other organizations to actively reference the principles and goals of the Declaration. This process entails, inter alia, the inclusion of indigenous representation in relevant legislative, policy and administrative processes, the promotion of the principle of free, prior and informed consent for traditional land owners, and agreement-making on issues and developments affecting traditional lands and territories. 102. Several indigenous peoples’ organizations indicated that Declaration implementation strategies were in place, but did not describe them in detail, while several others noted that that they did not have specific strategies. B. Specific legal, policy or other measures to implement the rights in the Declaration 103. In some cases, indigenous peoples’ organizations were not aware of any measures adopted by respective national Governments to implement the Declaration. Several organizations noted that they had made efforts, without success, to encourage States to adopt specific measures to implement the Declaration. 104. One organization noted that the national Government was preparing legislation that would address indigenous issues and that indigenous peoples were being consulted, however, the process was considered to be inconsistent with the Declaration. The proposed bill did not mention the Declaration. 105. In terms of measures taken by indigenous governments, while the Declaration was not mentioned specifically in the resolution of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe that created CANS, the organization’s work was intended to implement the Declaration. 1. Self-determination and autonomy 106. CAPAJ noted that the 15 annual assemblies of the Parliament of the Qollana Aymara People of the Andes had been held in accordance with the form of self-government as envisioned under the ayllu-marka system. Practicing traditional forms of governance provided guarantees for its continuity, even where not recognized by States. 2. Participation in decision-making, including obligations to seek to obtain indigenous peoples’ free, prior and informed consent 107. One organization noted evidence of the lack of commitment by the Government to upholding the principle of free, prior and informed consent, citing the example of the development by the State of a plan that, although set out as a strategy to attain the goals of the Declaration, was flawed. In particular, indigenous peoples’ free, prior and informed consent was not sought for aspects of the policies that would most directly impact them. 3. Culture and languages 108. CAPAJ noted its efforts to advance the use of Aymara language in some Chilean municipal schools to revitalize traditional culture. 4. Non-discrimination and equality 109. CEPODRA noted that it was working to promote equal opportunities and nondiscrimination in the hiring of indigenous health technicians by the Regional Health 18
