The report was informed by oral interventions from two virtual consultation sessions and a side-event at the UNPFII in April 2024 as well as 7 written submissions from states, 1 from the UNDP, 17 from academia and 28 from individual Indigenous Peoples and NGOs. During his address, the Special Rapporteur dedicated the report to the unique challenges faced by Mobile Indigenous Peoples, a subset of Indigenous Peoples whose mobility is crucial to their identity and lifeways.</div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);"><br class=""></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);">You can view the Special Rapporteur’s speech to the General Assembly and the Interactive Dialogue with States Here (UN TV link): </div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);"><a href="https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1e/k1e2o797z9" id="LPlnk227379" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1e/k1e2o797z9">https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1e/k1e2o797z9</a></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);"><br class=""></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);">The report itself is available in several languages via this link: </div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);"><a href="https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile?FinalSymbol=A%2F79%2F160&Language=E&DeviceType=Desktop&LangRequested=False" id="LPlnk827474" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile?FinalSymbol=A%2F79%2F160&Language=E&DeviceType=Desktop&LangRequested=False">https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile FinalSymbol=A%2F79%2F160&Language=E&DeviceType=Desktop&LangRequested=False</a></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Calibri Light", "Helvetica Light", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 36, 81);"><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
