A/HRC/24/50 outreach to indigenous communities and organizations that addressed their rights. 103 In Colombia, where there are ongoing debates regarding how to provide reparations for the victims of human rights abuses committed during the country’s internal armed conflict, indigenous peoples have taken a leading role in the development of a decree to address the issue of reparations for indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities. 99. Additional requirements for transitional justice in the indigenous context include that truth-seeking processes should not be viewed as a tool to legitimize the current governance structures but rather should proceed on a nation-to-nation basis.104 In addition, they should be designed to focus on historical as well as contemporary grievances suffered collectively.105 They should also be considered as part of a much broader strategy to address ongoing human rights abuses suffered by indigenous peoples, including, for example, political empowerment, and implementation of economic, social and cultural rights. Truth commissions must be accessible to indigenous peoples, which can include ensuring processes in indigenous languages and/or interpretation, and must ensure the participation of indigenous women and youth. Because the sharing of traumatic experiences can lead to retraumatization, culturally appropriate support services must be provided. 100. Finally, it should be recognized that, for truth commissions to succeed, the process is as important as the outcome.106 Commissions must include broad and ongoing consultations with indigenous peoples at all stages. Governments should consult in good faith and obtain the free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples for legislative or administrative measures that affect them. 103 104 105 106 22 Laura Young, “A challenging nexus: transitional justice and indigenous peoples in Africa”, submitted to the Africa Institute of South Africa (2012).
