resources; extractive industries and the related right to free, prior and informed
consent; the economic, social and cultural rights of indigenous peoples; and the
need to strengthen the participation of indigenous peoples in United Nations
mechanisms and the mechanism themselves, as well as the need for immediate,
effective and comprehensive implementation of the United Nations Declaration on
the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Member States and the United Nations system
with the full participation of indigenous peoples. The Forum is mindful that
dialogue will continue among and between indigenous peoples and Member States
in preparation for the World Conference.
87. The Permanent Forum recommends that the United Nations system strengthen
existing coordination mechanisms at the country level, and in partnership with
indigenous peoples and other relevant entities and national partners, in order to
implement the outcomes of the World Conference. The Forum offers its support in
this regard.
88. The Permanent Forum invites all organizations of the United Nations system
and other multilateral organizations, including the Bretton Woods institutions and
international and regional financial institutions, to contribute to the implementation
of the outcomes of the World Conference and to integrate them into their
programmes of work, as appropriate and in accordance with their respective
mandates, in full cooperation with indigenous peoples at the national, subregional,
regional and global levels.
89. The Permanent Forum calls upon Member States, guided by the spirit of
solidarity with indigenous peoples and consistent with their capabilities, to provide
support for the effective implementation of the outcomes of the World Conference
in mutually agreed areas of cooperation within the framework of the United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
90. The Permanent Forum recommends that the President of the sixty-eighth
session of the General Assembly, in the selection of co-chairs and other members of
the two plenary meetings, the three interactive round-table discussions and the one
interactive panel discussion during the World Conference, in addition to the
informal interactive hearing to be held before June 2014, apply the criteria of
regional representation of indigenous peoples; gender balance; inclusion of
indigenous elders and youth; and inclusion of indigenous persons with disabilities.
The Forum offers its assistance in identifying potential co-chairs and other members.

91. The Permanent Forum recommends that, in view of the 2015 deadline for the
attainment of the Millennium Development Goals, Member States and the United
Nations system make use of the experiences and lessons learned and capture the
priorities for development and well-being of indigenous peoples and include
indigenous peoples in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Goals.
92. The Permanent Forum welcomes the efforts of UNDP to endorse the political
participation of indigenous peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean and its
support in the preparation of the report on democracy and indigenous peoples in the
region. The Forum recommends to UNDP that it extend this good practice to other
regions and follow up regularly.
