The Manual was written by Andy Gargett, with the assistance of Katie Kiss, from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Team of the Australian Human Rights Commission. Suraina Pasha (APF) and Samia Slimane (OHCHR) contributed to the drafting and preparation of this Manual. The APF and OHCHR would like to thank Jesse McCormick and Aruni Jayakody for their contributions and James Iliffe and Lisa Thompson for editing and design of the Manual. OHCHR and the APF are particularly grateful to Rosslyn Noonan for her invaluable guidance and support. The importance of incorporating the views and practical experiences of the main users of the Manual was ensured through a series of consultations held by OHCHR with representatives of national human rights institutions (NHRIs) and indigenous peoples’ organizations. OHCHR and the APF wish to thank the following NHRIs for completing a survey to gather information for this Manual: Australia, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Canada, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Kenya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa and Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of). OHCHR and the APF also wish to thank those who commented on the draft Manual, including NHRIs – from Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Swaziland and Uganda – and indigenous peoples’ organizations – the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact and the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee). ii The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples A Manual for National Human Rights Institutions Foreword The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007, provides a global framework for efforts to advance indigenous peoples’ rights. Together with other human rights instruments and growing human rights jurisprudence concerning indigenous peoples, the Declaration contains crucial guidance for building societies that ensure full equality and rights of indigenous peoples. The Declaration has already prompted concrete improvements. At the United Nations and in regional organisations, human rights concerns of indigenous peoples have become an integral part of debates ranging from environment to development issues. At the national level, the Declaration has inspired new legislation and mechanisms for dialogue with indigenous peoples. Despite these positive signs, the promise of the Declaration is far from being universally fulfilled. As the findings of human rights mechanisms demonstrate, indigenous peoples in many parts of the world continue to be systematically discriminated and silenced. Rights of indigenous peoples are frequently the first victims of development activities in indigenous lands, often pursued with no regard to the principle of free, prior and informed consent and other guarantees of the Declaration. The present publication – a joint initiative of my Office and the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions – is part of our continuing efforts to fill these gaps, to promote the Declaration and to further its practical implementation. It aims at increased engagement by one key actor in ensuring that human rights, including indigenous peoples’ rights, become a reality: national human rights institutions. As examples contained in this publications show, national human rights institutions can play a crucial role in the protection and promotion of indigenous peoples’ rights. Through their legal status and mandate, they have the potential to be strong allies with, and advocates for, indigenous peoples. As conduits between the national, regional and international human rights spheres, national human rights institutions are uniquely placed to contribute to the genuine implementation of the Declaration and the progressive realization of the rights of indigenous peoples. The first part of this publication introduces the background and context of the Declaration, while the second and third parts focus on measures which national human rights institutions can take at the national and international level to protect and promote indigenous peoples’ rights. The publication is accompanied by an audio-visual resource, which features interviews with indigenous peoples, representatives of national human rights institutions and international human rights experts. I hope that this publication will foster a greater awareness of the rights of indigenous peoples among national human rights institutions, will guide and support them in this critical work and contribute to their capacity and commitment to work with indigenous peoples in order to realize the rights set out in the Declaration.

  • Vice-Chancellor, I Have the Honour to Present, for the Award of the Degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa, Navanethem Pillay
    Vice-Chancellor, I have the honour to present, for the award of the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, Navanethem Pillay. Rwanda is a small state in east-central Africa. It is known for its natural beauty, with dramatic steep mountains and deep valleys covering most of the country. In 1994 this scene was devastated by genocide, and, in just three months, nearly a million people were slaughtered. Four years later, the mayor of the Rwandan town of Taba was tried and, on 2 September 1998, became the first person to be convicted of genocide in an international court 1. Two days later, former Rwandan Prime Minister Jean Kambanda was sentenced to life imprisonment 2 and became the first head of state to be held accountable for atrocities committed during his regime 3. Navi Pillay, whom we honour today, was one of the judges responsible for these convictions AND for setting these groundbreaking precedents. “Groundbreaking” and “first” are words that crop up many times in Navi Pillay’s distinguished career. She was born in Durban and studied at University of Natal Law School. She was the first woman to open her own law practice in Natal. Her precedent setting achievements began even then, when she won the right for Robben Island prisoners to have access to legal representation. After that, she served on the bench as an Acting Judge in the South African High Court. She then spent eight years with the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda, where she led a number of groundbreaking decisions, including defining rape as a war crime.

  • Concept Note and Agenda REGIONAL MEETING on ETHNICITY and HEALTH in the AMERICAS 7-8 December 2015 Introduction Available Data
    Concept note and agenda REGIONAL MEETING ON ETHNICITY AND HEALTH IN THE AMERICAS 7-8 December 2015 Introduction Available data indicates that indigenous and afrodescent peoples are amongst the most marginalized populations of the region, encountering considerable challenges with regards to social and health conditions and with higher levels of rurality or urban marginality, unemployment, poverty, and illiteracy. They have less access to, and lower utilization of, health services, particularly quality health services, as compared to the rest of the population. Therefore, their health outcomes are poorer, presenting greater morbidity and mortality both from communicable and chronic diseases as well as external causes. Since 1993, the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) approved significant Resolutions to address these challenges and to advance the work on ethnicity and health in the region. In 1993, Member States reached consensus in recognizing the deficits in both living conditions and health among the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The Resolution 1 aimed to implement the SAPIA initiative (Health of the Indigenous Peoples Initiative of the Americas) and was reinforced by other two Resolutions on indigenous peoples approved in 1997 and 2006 2. The Strategy for Universal Access to Health and Universal Health Coverage, approved in 2014, specifically refers to indigenous and afro-descendant as some of the most affected groups facing problems of exclusion and lack of access to appropriate quality services. In addition, at global levels, there has been increasing attention to indigenous and afrodescent issues: the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) was held at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2014.

New international actors; changes in social, economic, and political dynamics; a multipolar power structure; and novel security threats only add to the complexity. Amidst this confusion, international law can be a source of order and clarity. It can provide frameworks to peacefully resolve disputes, regulate relations between diff erent actors, and clarify rights and obligations.

While differing significantly in terms of culture, identity, economic systems, and social institutions, indigenous peoples as a whole most often reflect specific disadvantage in terms of social indicators, economic status, and quality of life. Indigenous peoples often are not able to participate equally in development processes and share in the benefits of development, and often are not adequately represented in national social, economic, and political processes that direct development.

  • Side-Event at the 23Rd Session of the UN Human Rights Council Dalit
    Side-event at the 23rd session of the UN Human Rights Council Dalit Women: Working together towards the elimination of multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence based on gender and caste Opening remarks by Ms. Navi Pillay United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Geneva, 4 June 2013 Distinguished participants, Let me start by congratulating the organisers of this event, IDSN, IMADR, Human Rights Watch, and Minority Rights Group and the group of co-sponsoring states, for organising this important discussion today on “Dalit women: Working together towards the elimination of multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence based on gender and caste”. Caste based discrimination and untouchability still remain a wide spread practice affecting an estimated 260 million individuals around the world considered to belong to “lower castes”. The caste system is the very negation of the principles of equality and non- discrimination, eroding the enjoyment of a wide range of political, civil, economic, social and cultural rights for Dalits and other caste affected groups. Among them, Dalit women and girls are exposed to multiple forms of discrimination based on gender and caste and, therefore, vulnerable to several layers of marginalisation and violence. The specific human rights violations that originate from the intersection of discrimination based on caste and gender include sexual violence, sexual exploitation, trafficking, other forms of gender-based violence, bonded labour, lack of or limited access to food, water and sanitation, healthcare, education, adequate housing, and unequal participation in political, economic and social life. Earlier this year, this nexus came into tragic focus following terrible cases of sexual violence in India, some targeting Dalit women.
