E/2014/43 E/C.19/2014/11 45. The Permanent Forum urges States to implement articles 11 and 13 of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, in particular in relation to the practice and revitalization of indigenous peoples’ languages, cultural traditions and customs as a way of building resilience and preventing self-harm, violence and suicide. 46. The Permanent Forum also urges States to fund and deliver training in suicide prevention and mental health awareness to all teaching and non -teaching staff in all schools attended by indigenous children. The development of localized training programmes adapted to each culture consistent with articles 11, 14, 15 and 31 should be encouraged. 47. The Permanent Forum further urges the General Assembly to proclaim an international year of the world’s indigenous children and youth. Post-2015 development agenda 48. The Permanent Forum recommends that member States and relevant United Nations agencies place employment, decent work, social protection and recognition of traditional occupations and livelihoods of indigenous peoples, including pastoralism, on the post-2015 development agenda. A focus on indigenous peoples’ access to decent work, livelihoods and social protection is of utmost importance in this context. It will provide the opportunity to work globally towards building the enabling conditions for capturing the opportunities of sustainable development for pastoralists. 49. The Permanent Forum recommends that Member States and United Nations agencies recognize indigenous peoples as distinct stakeholders and make a specific separate reference to indigenous peoples, and not simply include them under the terms “marginalized and vulnerable groups”, in both the sustainable development goals and the post-2015 development agenda, including the Small Island Developing States process, and that this recommendation, with the specific recognition of indigenous peoples’ views and priorities for development, should be reflected in the goals and targets to be developed, including appropriate indicators and data disaggregation. 50. The Permanent Forum calls on the chairs of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals to address inequalities through the sustainable development goals, with a special focus on indigenous peoples, in order to uphold human rights for all, eliminate discrimination, reduce inequalities and ensure that no one is left behind. Half-day discussion on the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples 51. At its thirteenth session, the Permanent Forum convened a one -day dialogue on the high-level plenary meeting also known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples. The Forum is seriously concerned at the lack of substantive progress in the informal consultations held by, or on behalf of, the President of the General Assembly with Member States and indigenous peoples. The Forum is also alarmed at the conduct of certain States, whose interactions with the President of the Assembly indicate a clear departure from the modalities set out in General Assembly resolution 66/296 on the organization of the Conference. Notwithstanding the commitments made by the Assembly in that resolution, the Permanent Forum is 14-54937 13/22
