A/HRC/27/67 125. The Community for the Advancement of Native Studies noted that its activities were aimed at working with native nations, communities and organizations in identifying, prioritizing, formulating and implementing projects in accordance with their will, priorities and concerns. Going forward, it intended to explicitly insert, whenever feasible, the Declaration into its work. 126. The Comisión Jurídica para el Autodesarrollo de los Pueblos Originarios Andinos was leading processes to rebuild traditional forms of self-government, advocate for the respect of free, prior and informed consent, adopt measures aimed at strengthening Andean cultures and intercultural education, protect traditional lands, territories and resources and collective property and open spaces for traditional justice. In this work, it explicitly cited the Declaration and ILO Convention No. 169. 127. The Naga Women’s Union and Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights stated that the Declaration was a source of strength and power to claim their rights as indigenous peoples. However, the Declaration was not especially mentioned in collective decisions of the Naga people, as collective approaches to decision-making reflected traditional practice. 128. The Native Indian Youth Council had developed a specific policy of advocating for the inclusion of urban indigenous peoples in attaining the goals of Declaration. The organization consciously cited the Declaration within its advocacy efforts. 129. The National Native Title Council followed the Declaration within its own work and practices. It noted that its policy submissions referred to principles in the Declaration, particularly those related to free, prior and informed consent and self-determination. D. Initiatives to raise awareness of the Declaration at community and government levels 130. Indigenous peoples’ organizations described a number of measures taken or under way to raise awareness regarding the Declaration. Activities focused particularly on translation and dissemination of the Declaration and on carrying out training and holding workshops. Some organizations noted financial constraints on awareness-raising activities. 131. The Aldet Centre had initiated discussions with State officials to make them more sensitive to the Declaration and had also disseminated and publicized the content of Declaration in both English and the Kwéyòl language. 132. The Botswana Khwedom Council noted its use of the Declaration as a point of reference in the workshops it organized and in discussions with the national Government. 133. The Comisión Jurídica para el Autodesarrollo de los Pueblos Originarios Andinos emphasized the importance of dissemination of the Declaration and reported that it had led workshops and seminars about it, noting that there was wide demand among indigenous peoples for such capacity-building tools. However, it expressed concerns about providing those workshops, due to a lack of financial resources. The Centro de Promoción y Desarrollo Rural Amazónico also noted that it was not able to disseminate the Declaration on a large scale due to a lack of financial resources. 134. The Community for the Advancement of Native Studies recently began efforts to raise awareness of the Declaration at various levels of the community and of government to enhance the prospects for its implementation. 18
