A/HRC/54/31/Add.1 IV. Conclusions and recommendations 90. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the openness and cooperativeness of the Governments of Denmark and Greenland. He emphasizes the unique implementation model of the right to self-determination of Indigenous Peoples by Greenland and Denmark, reflected in the self-governance of Greenland, and looks with interest at the constitutional discussions in Greenland and their further developments, in particular concerning the implementation of international human rights standards in relation to Indigenous Peoples. 91. The Inuit people in Denmark and Greenland still face many challenges in fully enjoying their individual and collective rights. Structural racism against Inuit people is often the result of the legacy of colonialism and the lack of policies and remedies to address it. The Special Rapporteur considers it a priority for the Governments of Denmark and Greenland to embrace a process to achieve truth and reconciliation, with the full participation of Inuit people in Denmark and Greenland, in the design of effective remedies and policies. 92. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Denmark and Greenland take the actions set out below, within their fields of competence, in collaboration, cooperation and consultation with Indigenous Peoples. Institutional and legal framework 93. The Special Rapporteur recommends that, within their fields of competence, Denmark and Greenland: (a) Withdraw the territorial exclusions to the following international treaties: the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure, the Paris Agreement and the Aarhus Convention and give them prompt and full implementation; (b) Implement fully the right to self-identification and withdraw the declaration made in connection with the ratification of the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), in which Denmark considers Inuit in Greenland the only Indigenous People in the sense of the Convention; (c) Implement the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to ensure that Inuit fully enjoy the rights under these instruments in Denmark and Greenland and strengthen knowledge, at all levels of the government, administrative and judicial systems, of the international human rights of Indigenous Peoples in Greenland and Denmark; (d) Collect disaggregated data on Inuit people in Denmark and Greenland to inform legislation, policy and programmes in all fields, including education, health, justice, gender equality, violence against Indigenous women and children, equality for persons with disabilities, and prison and probation services. Inuit Greenlanders in Denmark 94. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Denmark: (a) Review urgently the procedures for out-of-care assessments in relation to Inuit children from Greenland; ensure that relevant legislation is made available in Greenlandic; address structural prejudices within social authorities by strengthening training for staff; and, in particular, strengthen interaction with Inuit community organizations in Denmark in order to establish and support more Inuit foster families in Denmark. Specifically, the Special Rapporteur urges Denmark to explicitly adopt procedures, as has been done in other countries, that give priority placement of Indigenous children in foster homes within their communities over non-Indigenous placements; 16 GE.23-13414
