The Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, James Anaya, submits to the Human Rights Council, pursuant to its resolution 15/14, the present report on specific cases he has examined concerning alleged violations of the human rights of indigenous peoples in many parts of the world.
The present report includes cases examined by the Special Rapporteur since finalizing his last report on communications to the Human Rights Council in August 2012 (A/HRC/21/47/Add.3) through communications sent as of 31 May 2013 and replies receive as of 31 July 2013. This report should be considered in conjunction with the last three joint communications reports of Special Procedures mandate holders which have been issued during this time frame (A/HRC/22/67; A/HRC/23/51; and A/HRC/24/21).
The full texts of the communications sent and replies received are available through the indicated hyperlinks in the electronic version of the present report. Where follow-up letters sent or replies received included in the present report relate to letters sent by the Special Rapporteur before the reporting period, the earlier letters are also included for ease of reference. For each case the Special Rapporteur provides a brief summary of the case along with his 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.
