A/HRC/42/37/Add.1 104. The indigenous peoples’ right to health should be guaranteed, health care personnel should be trained so as to eliminate all racist or discriminatory practices in the health system, and communities should be provided with adequate quality services. Indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation or initial contact 105. The Special Rapporteur reiterates the recommendations previously made by Special Rapporteurs concerning the Tagaeri Taromenane peoples living in isolation. In order to ensure full respect for their constitutional rights, the integrity of their territory should be recognized and protected, and the underlying causes of violence in the area, including pressure on their traditional lands as a result of legal and illegal extraction activities, should be resolved. 106. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the interim measures ordered by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (2016) should be brought up to date and fully implemented in conjunction with the Huaorani communities. The public policy on protection that has been announced should be developed in an inclusive manner with these communities. 107. It is essential that a truly intercultural and inclusive dialogue with the Huaorani be initiated with a view to drawing up a peace plan that would make it possible to prevent and resolve conflicts while guaranteeing the rights of indigenous peoples. 108. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur considers that it would be helpful to consider setting aside the case against the Huaorani persons involved in the events of 2013, bearing in mind the lack of due process and the excessive duration of the trial, among other problems. Northern border 109. The Special Rapporteur recalls that there are standards in international law that deal specifically with the rights of indigenous peoples across borders. The State should intensify its joint efforts with Colombia to develop binational plans to guarantee contacts and the rights of cross-border peoples, as recommended by the Ombudsman’s Office. 110. There is an urgent need to implement a comprehensive early warning system to address all issues of human rights violations in the area and deal specifically with the situation of indigenous peoples; steps should be taken to ensure that national funds are provided for future implementation of the system. 111. The structural problems of indigenous peoples in the area cannot be resolved solely with security measures. The territorial rights of indigenous peoples should be protected, health services and intercultural education should be guaranteed, and economic initiatives proposed by indigenous peoples should be supported. 112. The presence of military personnel should be contingent upon the consent of the indigenous communities. Measures should be taken to protect the population that do not entail an added risk to the peoples’ safety. The watch and control systems of the indigenous peoples should be supported, and their complaints should be dealt with promptly. Indigenous women 113. Intercultural policies to prevent and address the specific challenges of violence against indigenous women and girls and promote their rights in all areas should be developed, adopted and applied. 114. Access to justice should be ensured for indigenous women, in both the ordinary and the indigenous systems. 115. Priority attention should be given to implementing the Mandate of Amazonian Women.
