A/69/267 the exploitative use of their land and resources in the name of progress and economic development”. 7 Furthermore, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues dedicated its 2005 and 2006 sessions to a thorough discussion of the Millennium Development Goals, and issued a comprehensive set of detailed recommendations to States, the United Nations system and indigenous peoples in order to make the strategies adopted to achieve the Goals responsive to the needs and aspirations of indigenous peoples. 33. With only one year remaining to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, and in spite of the concerted efforts by numerous actors at a global scale, the Special Rapporteur concludes that many of the concerns expressed with regard to the Goals were sadly confirmed. Based on all available data at the country level regarding the social and economic situation of indigenous peoples, it is evident that the Goals did not fundamentally address or resolve the socially and economically disadvantaged position of indigenous peoples. 34. As the world prepares to define the next generation of sustainable development goals and the post-2015 development agenda, to be achieved by 2030, the Special Rapporteur highlights the need to look back at the experiences generated in the context of the framework and implementation of the Millennium Development Goals in order to avoid repeating mistakes, learn from constructive approaches and ensure that the next generation of global development goals and related targets and indicators are developed on the basis of an informed background.

The efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals, along with other recent development efforts to progressively achieve economic, social and cultural rights, have revealed a series of weaknesses related to the scope, the focus, governance and operational modalities of such efforts, but have also provided promising examples and experiences, which can be used to inspire future efforts. A non-exhaustive list of main obstacles and advancements to the full realization of the rights of indigenous peoples in the context of development are reviewed in this section. It is necessary to take stock of these obstacles and to develop measures to overcome them as part of efforts to achieve sustainable development in the context of the post-2015 global development agenda. Self-determined development 36. Complementary to the challenge of ensuring substantial equality for indigenous people with regard to common socioeconomic indicators is the need to ensure equality for indigenous peoples with regard to their rights to develop priorities and strategies for their self-determined development, as enshrined in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (article 23) and ILO Convention No. 169 (article 7(1)). History is full of examples of development interventions that have either failed or undermined the institutions, resources and cultures of indigenous peoples. These interventions tended to be preconceived in an evolutionist and a narrowly defined monetary and economic growth -oriented __________________ 7 10/23 E/C.19/2005/2; annex III, para. 3. 14-58847
