A/HRC/57/62 Indigenous Peoples across society. States, in cooperation and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, should carry out strategic planning and develop monitoring mechanisms and indicators to identify steps for the practical application of the human rights norms set out in the Declaration and for its effective implementation. States should create autonomous Indigenous-specific institutions to monitor the implementation of the Declaration and assess fulfilment of government responsibilities and obligations. 10. States should take steps to achieve the ends of the Declaration and the realization of the right of Indigenous Peoples to the recognition, observance and enforcement of the treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements they have concluded with States or their successors. States should work in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish fair and transparent mechanisms and processes through which treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements can be successfully concluded. 11. In cases where States have initiated or concluded national inquiries, truth commissions and other processes or mechanisms for reconciliation, a fundamental step following up on such commissions is the analysis of action taken by States to respond to the final reports, conclusions and recommendations that may yield constructive examples of implementation of the Declaration. 12. States should provide their civil servants with comprehensive training on the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its implementation. 13. Indigenous Peoples should continue to build their own institutional capacity and expertise on their rights affirmed in the Declaration and on how to enforce them at the national, regional and international levels, including by participating in lawmaking work by expanding their opportunities to exercise legislative initiative and to participate directly in parliaments of all levels. 14. Indigenous Peoples should be able to engage with lawyers’ groups when ongoing judicial reviews or litigation on Indigenous Peoples’ rights exist, focusing on the use of the Declaration. In this regard, it is recommended that steps be taken to create the conditions and platforms for Indigenous Peoples and State authorities to discuss legal reforms. States should also assist Indigenous Peoples to initiate educational programmes together with other actors such as academia. GE.24-13517 19
