A/69/267 V. Conclusions and recommendations towards the establishment of the sustainable development goals 83. Engaging in partnerships with indigenous peoples to define strategies to progressively achieve their economic, social and cultural rights is not only a duty of States under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, it is also an invaluable contribution to strengthening the diversity of sustainable livelihood systems and economies that include both market, non-market and other approaches for a more equitable and sustainable sharing of wealth and resources. 84. In concluding her first report to the General Assembly, the Special Rapporteur underlines the unique opportunity that the global community has to use the design, implementation and monitoring processes related to the sustainable development goals to address the persistent discrimination against indigenous peoples, as individuals and as collectives, and with regard to both access to and adequacy of development intervention. 85. Overcoming discrimination against indigenous peoples, and indigenous women in particular, will require concerted efforts and, in many cases, special measures. The Special Rapporteur expresses her hope that the global community is ready to take the necessary steps to end the historical injustices committed against indigenous peoples, and provides the following recommendations to that effect: (a) The processes to define, implement and monitor the sustainable development goals should be used as a vehicle to address the aspirations of indigenous peoples for self-determined development, and to achieve equality in development outcomes. This will require the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples in the definition, implementation and monitoring of the goals at both the international and national levels, including the establishment of regular mechanisms for consultation and participation; (b) The universality of the proposed sustainable development goals is a unique opportunity to highlight and address existing inequalities between the indigenous and non-indigenous sectors of the population in all countries across the globe. In order to monitor discrimination, recurrent data gathering processes, such as population and housing censuses, should disaggregate data, using self-identification as a key criterion for the identification of indigenous peoples. Additional specific indicators and related data-gathering processes should be developed to monitor essential aspects of indigenous peoples’ selfdetermined development, such as security of tenure with regard to lands, territories and natural resources; (c) States should adopt broad measures to ensure respect for indigenous peoples’ labour rights, as well as special measures to address the situation of groups that are most vulnerable to forced labour, child labour, sexual exploitation and trafficking; (d) The disadvantages faced by indigenous peoples with regard to education and health should be addressed by identifying the multiple drivers of marginalization, adopting integrated policy approaches that address 22/23 14-58847
