E/CN.4/2005/88/Add.2 page 24 C. Recommendations to the indigenous peoples 113. The Special Rapporteur urges the indigenous peoples to continue to stand up to the various groups involved in the armed conflict and reaffirm their tradition of peace and mutual respect. He recommends that they continue to try to establish forums for dialogue with civil society and other sectors campaigning for human rights and peace in Colombia. D. Recommendations to the international community 114. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the United Nations and the international community at large continue to provide cooperation for the construction of a peaceful, just society. He appeals in particular for special attention to continue to be paid to the situation of Colombia’s indigenous peoples, applying a strong gender perspective, and for an approach aimed at ensuring respect for indigenous human rights when devising policies and initiatives for the various agencies in the country. 115. Lastly, as a matter of particular urgency, international cooperation should be mobilized to prepare an emergency programme of aid to the indigenous communities in danger of extinction, particularly in the Amazon region. In this context, it is recommended that advice should be sought from the new United Nations focal point on the prevention of genocide. -----
