A/73/176 95. In the light of the 2030 Agenda, including indigenous peoples, through their own institutions and representatives, in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals is essential to ensuring that development initiatives succeed and that indigenous peoples are not left behind. The country visit reports and the previous recommendations of the Special Rapporteur can provide useful guidance to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for indigenous peoples at the national level, in line with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and other human rights instruments. 96. In the present report, the Special Rapporteur sought to provide an initial overview of the topic of indigenous peoples and self-governance, which she will take forward through consultations with indigenous peoples and States in order to map different indigenous governance systems and provide key recommendations. States and indigenous peoples are encouraged to participate actively in the discussion, in particular by presenting good practices and solutions for overcoming the remaining challenges relating to indigenous peoples’ right to self-government. 18-11856 23/23
