A/68/317 Report of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples Summary This is the final report of the current Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, James Anaya, to the General Assembly. The Special Rapporteur devotes the first part of the report to describing his activities since beginning his mandate, while identifying work methods and lessons learned, as well as both positive experiences and challenges in his work. Later in the report, he addresses factors that debilitate commitment to and action by States and other actors to implement the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, drawing upon the Special Rapporteur’s experiences over the past years. The objective of this discussion is to advance thinking that will help to overcome these debilitating factors in favour of concrete measures of implementation. 2/22 13-42710
