A/HRC/33/58 provided examples of large-scale public works, such as hydroelectric dams, or extractive industries pursuing their activities on indigenous peoples’ lands without their consent. D. Participation of indigenous peoples in the development and implementation of legislative, policy or administrative measures that affect them 32. Finland responded that the Act on Metsähallitus, which included provision for municipal advisory committees in the Sami homeland, was drafted by a working group appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on 16 June 2013. That working group included representatives from the Sami Parliament and the Skolt Sami Village Council. 33. Australia engaged with a range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, organizations and communities when designing policies and programmes and implementing services. One example was the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan 2013-2023, which recognized the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ involvement in the planning, design and implementation of health services. 34. Denmark and Greenland stated that the 2009 Act on Greenland Self-Government demonstrated the commitment to and implementation of the Declaration. The Act required the Naalakkersuisut (Government of Greenland) to be heard on all other matters affecting Greenland and the Government of Denmark. It required all bills of the Government of Denmark that might be brought into force in Greenland to be submitted to the autonomous government for comments. The Government of Denmark was required to await those comments before presenting bills to the Danish parliament. 35. Peru reported on the establishment of a working group on public policies focusing on indigenous peoples, which was a space for participation and dialogue between indigenous peoples and the executive power to coordinate, propose and monitor such public policies. Peru also highlighted its quota system in place in certain departments and provinces to address the gaps in the political representation of indigenous peoples. Peru reported on consultation processes, pointing out that of 11 processes carried out in 2015– 2016, nine had concluded with agreements between indigenous peoples and the State. 36. Indigenous peoples in Canada had treaty or self-government agreements, which Canada was bound to respect. Canada must consult with or secure agreement from indigenous government (as set out in such agreements) when developing and implementing legislative, policy or administrative measures that affected the rights of indigenous peoples. Canada submitted that it was also in the process of undertaking an extensive review to ensure compliance on the part of the Crown with aboriginal and treaty rights. 37. Mexico had ensured that indigenous peoples were consulted during the development of the National Development Plan by holding consultation meetings with representatives of indigenous peoples and communities. Furthermore, 22 state constitutions and 24 state laws recognized the right to consultation and participation of indigenous peoples and indigenous communities. In 2004, the Government of Mexico had also established the Advisory Council of the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples. That body had become the main organ of participation and consultation for indigenous peoples. 38. Answers from indigenous peoples’ organizations described situations ranging from complete exclusion from decision-making to pro forma processes for participation, carried out by the State simply to comply with protocols, but not in good faith. Other organizations stated that the non-recognition of their indigenous status by Government authorities hampered any attempts to participate in decision-making. 6
