A/HRC/24/51 154. One challenge raised was “attempts by a few persons and NGOs to undermine the land titling and demarcation process by advising Indigenous peoples to claim more lands than they traditionally occupy, reject the process of titling and demarcation and or to make no request for such demarcation”. Such frustration indicates that a tension may exist between States and indigenous peoples and non-governmental organizations on the best approach to achieving the goals of the Declaration. Again, additional information by States on how to work through these differences to promote harmonious relations would greatly assist other States to continue to work towards implementation. C. Indigenous peoples, indigenous peoples’ organizations and nongovernmental organizations 155. Many indigenous peoples’ organizations detailed their approaches, which included activities at all levels, for attaining the goals of the Declaration. Most of the responding indigenous organizations were engaged in at least one of the following activities: advocacy; capacity-building, including by developing and disseminating resources and conducting training on the Declaration for communities, indigenous peoples and public authorities; conducting research regarding indigenous concerns; and translating the Declaration into indigenous languages. 156. Very few organizations proposed overarching national-level strategies. However, some indigenous peoples’ organizations are focused mainly on thematic issues and, as mentioned by many organizations, their institutional activities are generally limited due to a lack of financial resources and to deficiencies regarding the will of States to cooperate with indigenous peoples. Some organizations tend to develop articulated activities on both the national and international levels to maximize the impact of their strategies with respect to State implementation of the Declaration. 157. Most of the responding indigenous peoples’ organizations reported the integration of the Declaration’s spirit and standards within their internal guidelines, practices and activities. Several also noted that they are disposed to participate in local or national public processes when established in cooperation and good faith with indigenous peoples and organizations. Nevertheless, several alleged reluctance on the part of States to engage adequately or at all with indigenous peoples in matters that had impacts on them. 158. Most organizations reported a lack of attention from the States in considering the Declaration and indigenous peoples’ rights, a lack of understanding of the Declaration’s status and legal value in domestic legal systems and a lack of public support for indigenous peoples. All these concerns prevent the full implementation of the Declaration. 159. Relevant best practices cited included asking United Nations mechanisms to better assist indigenous peoples in advancing implementation strategies. Nationally and locally, efforts, on the part of both States and indigenous peoples, were needed to raise awareness regarding the Declaration. 24
