A/HRC/24/49 (f) Proposes that the Human Rights Council follow up on its recommendation that the studies and advice of the Expert Mechanism be considered in the process leading up to the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples. This would include drawing on the compilation of recommendations, conclusions and advice from studies completed by the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (A/HRC/EMRIP/2013/CRP.1); (g) Proposes that the Human Rights Council support the equal participation of the three United Nations mechanisms on indigenous peoples1 in the World Conference, as well as in its preparatory and follow-up processes; (h) Proposes that the Human Rights Council support the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples, including traditional indigenous Governments, indigenous parliaments, assemblies and councils, in the World Conference. Proposal 3: Implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 7. The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: (a) Proposes that the Human Rights Council urge States and indigenous peoples to report on the measures taken to implement the rights enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, through the continuation of the Expert Mechanism’s questionnaire survey; (b) Further proposes that the Human Rights Council request States to establish, with the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples, independent mechanisms to oversee and promote the implementation of the rights contained in the Declaration, and to ensure that these mechanisms are mandated to oversee the implementation of recommendations made by the human rights treaties bodies, the Human Rights Council’s special procedures, the universal periodic review and other mechanisms related to the rights of indigenous peoples. Such mechanisms should cooperate closely with regional and national human rights institutions. 8.
