E/2008/43 E/C.19/2008/13 Forum, as well as in other decision-making processes concerning indigenous peoples’ rights. The Forum requests its secretariat and the United Nations Youth Unit in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs to continue facilitating the involvement of the Youth Caucus in its annual sessions. Second International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People 102. The Permanent Forum welcomes as a major achievement of the Second International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People 7 the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 103. The Permanent Forum also welcomes the recent adoption of the United Nations Development Group guidelines for indigenous peoples’ issues, which will bring the United Nations normative framework on indigenous peoples to the field level and contribute to the implementation of the goals and objectives of the Decade and of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Forum encourages the United Nations system to support the Guidelines with a programme of action and calls upon the donor community to provide resources to that effect. The Forum also calls upon the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Issues to review and revise the Guidelines in light of the adoption of the Declaration. 104. The Permanent Forum notes the valuable work carried out by indigenous communities and organizations thanks to the support of the trust fund in support of the Second International Decade and expresses its deep appreciation to the States that have contributed to the fund. However, the Forum deplores the fact that despite increasing project proposals, the funds available for grants have been diminishing. The Forum therefore strongly appeals to all States, the United Nations system, foundations and other donors to make generous contributions to the trust fund in support of the Second International Decade. 105. The Permanent Forum takes note of the recent declaration of the International Indigenous Women’s Forum, at its session held in Lima from 13 to 16 April 2008, and recommends that United Nations agencies, donors and States show their support and cooperation for the next session of the International Indigenous Women’s Forum, to be held in Colombia in 2011. 106. The Permanent Forum welcomes the expert seminar on the Second Decade organized in Africa by OHCHR to reinforce cooperation between OHCHR and the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights on the implementation of the programme of action for the Decade. Urban indigenous peoples and migration 107. The Permanent Forum affirms that the National Association of Friendship Centres in Canada is an example of a good practice model for developing indigenous peoples’ centres in urban areas that should be replicated. 108. The Permanent Forum urges the United Nations Population Fund, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and other regional mechanisms, in collaboration with indigenous peoples, to conduct studies on __________________ 7 08-33882 General Assembly resolution 59/174. 17
