The Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is a subsidiary body
of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It was established
by ECOSOC in its resolution 2000/22 of 28 July 2000. The Forum
is one of the expert bodies of the Council composed of members
serving in their personal capacity. The Forum serves as an advisory
body to ECOSOC with a mandate to discuss indigenous issues within
the areas of expertise of the Council relating to economic and
social development, culture, the environment, education, health
and human rights.
By resolution 2000/22, ECOSOC decided, inter alia, that States,
United Nations bodies and organs, intergovernmental organizations
and non-governmental organizations in consultative status with
the Council may participate in the work of the Forum as observers.
ECOSOC also decided that organizations of indigenous people may
equally participate as observers in the work of the Permanent
Forum in accordance with the procedures which have been applied
in the Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission
on the Promotion of Human Rights.
The fourth session of the Permanent Forum will take place from
16 to 27 May 2005 at the United Nations Headquarters, in New York.
The theme of the fourth session of the Permanent Forum is: “Millennium
