Intersessional interactive dialogue on ways to enhance the participation of indigenous peoples (15 July 2019)

In its resolution 39/13 of 28 September 2018, the Human Rights Council decided to hold a half-day intersessional interactive dialogue, while inviting the President of the General Assembly to participate, on ways to enhance the participation of indigenous peoples’ representatives and institutions in meetings of the Human Rights Council on issues affecting them on the first day of the twelfth session of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Council requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to make the interactive dialogue fully accessible to persons with disabilities, and to prepare a summary report thereon for submission to the Council prior to its forty-fourth session, and recommended that the Assembly consider that report in the ongoing process towards the enhancement of the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples in the work of the United Nations.
