The Permanent Forum held seven dialogues, on Africa; the Arctic; Asia; Central and South America and the Caribbean; Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation and Transcaucasia; North America; and the Pacific, aimed at engaging participants in deeper dialogue on relevant issues and on challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples in the various regions. Summaries of the dialogues can be found online at https://social.desa.un.org/issues/indigenous-peoples/unpfii/unpfii-twenty-secondsession-17-28-april-2023. 98. The Permanent Forum requests the host country to promptly issue entry visas for its members, Indigenous Peoples and civil society observers, in accordance with article IV, section 11 of the United Nations Headquarters Agreement. 3 In addition, the Permanent Forum encourages other Member States hosting United Nations meetings with Indigenous Peoples’ organizations to expedite visa processing. The Permanent Forum also suggests that host countries consider waiving visa fees for participants involved in the Permanent Forum’s work and associated events. Addressing these issues is essential for promoting accountability, responsibility and inclusiveness in Indigenous Peoples’ decision-making processes. __________________ 3 23-08492 Available at https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume%2011/volume-11-I-147English.pdf. 19/24
