The Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, James Anaya, submits to the Human Rights Council, pursuant to resolution 24/9, the present report on specific cases examined concerning alleged violations of human rights of indigenous peoples. The Special Rapporteur ended his mandate on 1 June 2014. The present report includes cases examined since the issuance of the Special Rapporteur’s last report on communications to the Human Rights Council in September 2013 (A/HRC/24/41/Add.4) through communications sent up to 1 June 2013 and replies received up to 31 May 2014. Some responses from Governments have been received after 1 June and these will be included in upcoming joint communications reports of Special Procedures mandate holders.
Cases included in the present report have been grouped by country, with countries listed alphabetically. “Other letters” sent by the Special Rapporteur to non-governmental entities are included at the end of the report. For each of the cases, the date of the initial letter sent, any follow-up by the Special Rapporteur, and any reply or replies received by the State or other party concerned are indicated. This report should be considered in conjunction with the joint communications reports of the Special Procedures mandate holders that have been issued over the past year (A/HRC/25/74; A/HRC/26/21; A/HRC/27/72). The full letters of the cases included in the present report can be accessed through the electronic versions of those joint communications reports.
For some cases, and as indicated below in each specific case, the Special Rapporteur issued follow-up letters, either containing new allegations or evaluation of the case. For each case, the Special Rapporteur provides a brief summary of the allegations transmitted, the response of the Government concerned or other party if any, and observations. The Special Rapporteur’s observations may highlight aspects or comment on the adequacy of any response to the allegations transmitted, reiterate recommendations previously made to the Government or other actor concerned, or make reference to relevant international standards.
