peoples have occurred, the Permanent Forum recommends that States assume their
responsibilities to ensure, through relevant post-conflict mechanisms, that such
atrocities are prevented in the future.

indigenous peoples and their participation in democratic societies and electoral
processes in Latin America, under the Declaration, be expanded to include the
political and electoral participation of all indigenous peoples in democratic
processes. In that regard, the Forum appoints member Álvaro Pop, in collaboration
