A/HRC/36/56 territories and to consultation and free prior and informed consent. It also recognized the principle of non-forced contact to those indigenous peoples living in isolation. However, some fear that, in some respects, it may fall short of meeting the standards already set in other international instruments and those developed by the regional human rights institutions.64 Thus, it should be read in conjunction with other international instruments, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and ILO Convention No. 169. 76. On 13 January 2017, a group of negotiators representing the Governments of Finland, Norway and Sweden and the three Sámi parliaments of those countries finalized the negotiations on a draft Nordic Sámi convention. The draft convention included joint Nordic approaches in safeguarding and strengthening Sámi right to self- determination, including rights to lands and resources, Sámi traditional livelihoods, language, culture and education, and confirmed that the Sámi people should have their own representative political bodies, the Sámi Parliaments. According to the draft convention, the Sámi Parliaments should give their consent to the draft convention. One of the issues that remain unclear is whether the draft convention broadens the definition of Sámi persons eligible to vote in Sámi Parliament elections to the extent that it will also include non-indigenous persons. Assuming all three countries’ Sámi Parliaments and the national legislative assemblies in Finland, Norway and Sweden consent to the agreement, it will come into force in autumn 2019. That convention may be of interest to indigenous peoples worldwide, especially where indigenous people are scattered across several countries, such as the Maya, who live in Belize, Guatemala and Mexico. 77. In May 2017, the revised Deatnu/Tana agreement between the governments of Finland and Norway caused protests from the local Sámi fishing rights holders and the Sámi Parliaments. While the agreement includes a reference to the Declaration as part of the legal framework for the agreement, both Sámi Parliaments claim that it came into force without their free, prior and informed consent. 64 18 See www.asil.org/insights/volume/21/issue/7/american-declaration-rights-indigenous-peoples.
