Note Informative
Le Secrétariat de l'Instance permanente sur les questions autochtones
est maintenant basé au Département des Affaires économiques et
sociales (DESA).
Pour souligner le sens de ce nouvel organe, M Desai, Sous-Secrétaire
Général pour les Affaires économiques et sociales, a installé le
Secrétariat en tant que branche au sein de la Division Politique et
Développement sociaux. Ceci procure une base solide sur laquelle cet
important travail pourra se construire.
La tâche du Secrétariat consiste à prêter assistance à l'Instance
permanente sur les questions autochtones dans la poursuite de son
mandat, qui couvre les domaines du développement économique et social,
la culture, l'environnement, l'éducation, la santé et les droits
humains, à travers l'apport de conseils et de recommandations
d'experts sur les questions autochtones auprès de l'ECOSOC, ainsi que
des programmes, des fonds et lds agences des Nations Unies ; son
mandat est également d'éveiller l'attention et promouvoir
l'intégration et la coordination des activités liées aux questions
autochtones au sein du système des Nations Unies, et enfin de préparer
et transmettre les informations sur les questions autochtones.
Le Secrétariat se trouve maintenant dans les locaux du DESA dans nos
bureaux situés au 17e étage, 2 United Nations Plaza, New York, et se
consacre à la mise en place des systèmes du bureau, de notre page Web,
les réseaux de communications, tout en préparant et transmettant les
informations sur la deuxième session de l'Instance permanente sur les
questions autochtones (12-23 mai 2003).
Le rapport de l'Instance permanente est disponible sur la page Web du
Haut Commissariat pour les droits humains à l'adresse www.unhchr.org.
Au cas où vous n'ayez pas accès à l'Internet et que vous désiriez ce
rapport sous sa forme papier, veuillez prendre contact avec le
Secrétariat et vous en obtiendrez une copie par voie postale.
Nous aimerions également demander vos apports pour établir un
calendrier de toutes les conférences et évènements qui concernent les
autochtones pour 2003-2004.
Les informations sur les accréditations pour la seconde session de
l'Instance permanente seront disponibles vers la mi-février sur notre
site Web que nous élaborons actuellement.
Nous nous engageons à faire de notre mieux pour assurer le succès de
la seconde session de l'Instance permanente. Nous nous réjouissons
d'établir des liens de communication réguliers avec nos collègues des
organisations des peuples autochtones les plus importantes, ainsi que
des organisations non-gouvernementales.

Information Note
The Secretariat for the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
is now
established at the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).
Mr.
Nitin Desai, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social
Affairs, has
established the Secretariat within the Division for Social

Development. This provides a solid foundation on which to grow
this
important work.
The Secretariat's job is to assist the Permanent Forum on
Indigenous
Issues in carrying out its mandate, which covers the areas of
economic and
social development, culture, the environment, education, health and
human
rights, through the provision of expert advice and
recommendations on
indigenous issues to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) as well
as to
programmes, funds and agencies of the United Nations; raising
awareness and
promoting integration and coordination of activities relating to
indigenous
issues within the United Nations system; and preparing and
disseminating
information on indigenous issues. The Secretariat is now located
within
DESA in our offices on the 17th floor, 2 United Nations Plaza,
busily
establishing office systems, our webpage and communication
networks and
preparing for the second session of the Permanent Forum (12-23 May
2003).
The report of the Permanent Forum is available through the
webpage of
the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights at
www.unhchr.org. If
you do not have internet access and require a hard copy please
contact the
Secretariat and a copy will be mailed to you.
We would also like to request your input for a calendar
of all
indigenous relevant conferences and events in 2003-2004.
Information on accreditation for the second session of the
Permanent
Forum will be available by mid-February on the website we
are now
preparing. We are committed to doing our best to ensure a

establishing
