Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP)
Mandate
The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) is a subsidiary body of
the United Nations' Human Rights Council (HRC). The HRC was established in 2006 by the
UN General Assembly and is the main UN intergovernmental body dealing with human
rights. The Human Rights Council created EMRIP in 2007 in HRC resolution 6/36. The EMRIP
meets once a year for five days.
According to its mandate, EMRIP will:
    Provide the Human Rights Council with expertise and advice on the rights of
     indigenous peoples as set out in the UNDRIP
    Assist Member States, upon request, in achieving the ends of the Declaration
     through the promotion, protection and fulfilment of the rights of indigenous
     peoples.
EMRIP’s new methods of work with respect to country engagement activities are set out on
page 7.
The Expert Mechanism is one of three UN bodies that is mandated to deal specifically with
Indigenous Peoples’ issues. The others are the United Nations Permanent Forum on
Indigenous Issues and the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

EMRIP Working Methodologies
Intersessional activities: Expert Seminar and intersessional meeting
EMRIP held an expert seminar and an intersessional meeting in Chile from December 4-8
2017. The purpose of the seminar was to gather information for the up-coming study on
the free, prior and informed consent. The report will be discussed and finalised during the
EMRIP in July, before it will be presented to the Human Rights Council during its 39th
session. The aim of the intersessional meeting was to discuss the requests received for
country engagements. The concept note of the seminar is available here:
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/IPeoples/EMRIP/Pages/StudyFPIC.aspx (only in English).

Country engagements
In 2017, EMRIP adopted its working methods in regards to country engagements with the
goal to operationalise the new mandate (resolution 33/25). Upon the request, the Expert
Mechanism can:
    Provide technical advice regarding the development of domestic legislation and
     policies relating to the rights of indigenous peoples.
    Provide assistance and advice for the implementation of recommendations made
     at the Universal Periodic Review and Treaty bodies, Special Procedures or other
     relevant mechanisms.
    Facilitate dialogue between Member States, indigenous peoples and/or the private
     sector in order to implement UNDRIP.
The purpose is multiple: provide independent advice and recommendations, facilitate
dialogue between different stakeholders, make independent observations of and advice

                                                                                       7/18
on the implementation of laws and policies to implement UNDRIP, capacity-building and
awareness-raising.
The modalities may include training activities for State institutions, indigenous people’s
organisations, NHRIs or other stakeholders, video or audio-calls, in-person meetings in
Geneva or in other locations, emails exchanges or formal communication through
diplomatic channels.
Possible activities are, for example, collection of good practices, disseminate the EMRIP
studies, policy dialogue with stakeholders, meetings with stakeholders, trainings, site
visits, etc.
Requests from indigenous peoples should be submitted to the secretariat of the Expert
Mechanism in OHCHR via e-mail to expertmechanism@ohchr.org. For more information
about the required information for the request, visit:

Country engagements in 2018
By now, the Expert Mechanism has undertaken two country visits:
    Finland (February 2018, upon request of the Sámi Parliament of Finland): the
     purpose was to consider amendments to the Sámi Parliament Act, for which EMRIP
     will provide a technical advice note.
    Mexico (March 2018, upon the request of the Secretariat of Rural Development and
     Equality for the Communities (SEDEREC): The mission focused on the provisions
     regarding indigenous peoples in the Constitution of Mexico City, which was
     adopted in January 2017. The Expert Mechanism will provide a technical
     cooperation note.

The 2030 Agenda:
    The United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
     Development on 25 September 2015.
    The Agenda came into effect on 1 January 2016 and will carry through the next 15
     years. It is a broad and universal policy agenda, with 17 Sustainable Development
     Goals and 169 associated targets which are described as integrated and indivisible.
      The recent report from the 16th Session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous
       Issues has a dedicated section with recommendations related to the 2030 Agenda:
       http://bit.ly/report-16thsession-agenda2030
In contrast to the MDGs, the SDGs explicitly include indigenous peoples. Two of the SDG
targets make specific references to indigenous peoples, committing to double agricultural
output of indigenous small-scale farmers and to ensure equal access to education for
indigenous children. There is also a strong commitment in the 2030 Agenda to empower
and engage indigenous peoples in implementing and reviewing progress in achieving the
goals.
A short introduction paper to Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and the 2030 Agenda is available
to download here: Briefing Paper on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and the 2030 Agenda.
