E/CN.4/2004/80/Add.3 page 24 82. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in consultation with its adviser/representative for Latin America and the Caribbean and in cooperation with the Government, the country’s indigenous peoples and other parties concerned, should organize a follow-up meeting to identify ways in which the United Nations system can assist the State authorities in implementing the recommendations set out in this report. C. Recommendations to civil society 83. In order to overcome the discrimination and historical denial from which indigenous peoples have suffered, Chilean society as a whole has an important role to play; the Special Rapporteur therefore recommends that ongoing publicity campaigns should be organized to combat prejudice, racism, intolerance and the stigmatization of indigenous issues in public opinion. 84. In this context, it is recommended that political parties and organizations should focus in their approach to human rights issues not only on the consequences of the recent past but also on the promotion of the individual and collective rights of the country’s indigenous peoples. D. Recommendations to the media 85. Indigenous communities and peoples should have the facilities and support they need if they are to have full access to the mass media (the press, radio, television and Internet); it is therefore recommended that the country’s main media organizations, together with the university faculties concerned, should offer courses and seminars with a view to finding new means of access to the media for indigenous communities. 86. It is also recommended that the existing media should redouble their efforts to give broad, balanced and fair coverage of the needs and situation of indigenous peoples and of the social conflict in indigenous regions. E. Recommendations to the academic community 87. The Special Rapporteur takes note of the studies carried out in several universities in the country on indigenous issues and recommends that these efforts be extended to other academic centres so that all the issues relating to the human rights of indigenous peoples are covered. -----
