A/HRC/24/49 participatory rights as non-governmental organizations in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council.”2 9. The Expert Mechanism proposes that the Human Rights Council review the language and terminology used in United Nations documents pertaining to the rights of indigenous peoples with a view to ensuring that they reflect the terminology contained in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In particular, the Expert Mechanism calls upon the Human Rights Council to propose that the General Assembly amend the title of the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Populations and rename it the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples. It also calls upon the United Nations and other international organizations to review their spelling rules with a view to using capital letters in spelling the term “Indigenous Peoples.” Proposal 4: Post-2015 Development Agenda 10. The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples proposes that the Human Rights Council support the Expert Mechanism and representatives of indigenous peoples in their efforts to ensure that the rights of Indigenous peoples are firmly incorporated in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, including the participation of the Expert Mechanism in related activities. Proposal 5: Universal periodic review (UPR) 11. The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples proposes that the Human Rights Council and Member States draw increasingly on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the thematic work of the Expert Mechanism in the universal periodic review (UPR) process, including through references to the Declaration, studies and advice in recommendations. The Expert Mechanism also proposes that, in future UPR cycles, the Declaration be explicitly included in the list of standards on which the UPR process is based. III. Organization of the session A.
