A/60/358 procedures whose effective operation is essential for the full enjoyment of their human rights, such legal measures will fall short of their objectives. 71. On the basis of the preceding observations, the Special Rapporteur wishes to make a number of recommendations, which he is pleased to present to the General Assembly for its consideration. 72. Armed conflicts in territories or areas where indigenous populations live require, in addition to monitoring by international humanitarian agencies, specific efforts to monitor their impact on the human rights of individuals and their destructive consequences for whole communities. The situation of indigenous women, in particular displaced and refugee women, is particularly severe, and should be addressed through targeted, culturally appropriate programmes. United Nations bodies responsible for follow-up and support in cases of forced displacement should carefully scrutinize such situations and identify suitable solutions. The Special Rapporteur recommends that these bodies make use of the specialized experience of OHCHR in developing protection programmes. 73. In cases in which violence perpetrated by illegal armed actors and others endangers the survival of small and especially vulnerable indigenous communities, the Special Rapporteur recommends that field visits be conducted by an independent international commission, with OHCHR support, to investigate the facts and to propose concrete and effective protection measures. 74. It is essential to enhance the quantity and quality of information about the real situation of indigenous peoples and communities, with a view to improving social policies that target them. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the relevant technical bodies adopt suitable measures. 75. With regard to Millennium Development Goals 1 and 2, States should, in all cases, adopt specific goals and policies for indigenous populations, with their full participation, and should ensure that the measures taken to achieve these objectives have no adverse impact on the human rights of such populations. 76. Indigenous people everywhere show a pattern of persistent poverty which calls for urgent, comprehensive and multidimensional measures aimed at the neediest indigenous communities and regions. 77. United Nations country teams that have not yet done so should formulate specific human rights goals for indigenous populations and should guide and coordinate their activities on that basis. Particular attention should be paid to the special situation and needs of indigenous women and girls, and precise criteria should be established for evaluating progress. 78. Efforts to combat child labour should be stepped up. In this context, all activities related to the abolition of child labour should pay close attention to indigenous girls and should take into account all the social and economic factors behind this phenomenon. 79. States should adopt emergency measures to guarantee the provision of basic services to indigenous communities that have little or no access to such services. 80. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Governments attach high priority to the objectives and principles of indigenous education and provide public and private 17
