The GIYC has expanded its scope of work to the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) and the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples (UNSR), thus covering the three UN bodies with specific mandates on indigenous peoples’ rights. During the 10th session of EMRIP in 2017, the GIYC was able to organize a preparatory meeting the day before the session, as well as daily meetings during the session to consolidate political positions. As is common practice in the UNPFII sessions, the GIYC presented its positions in statements during the plenary. While the GIYC contributed to the discussion during the EMRIP session, it also organized a side event with WHO/PAHO on indigenous youth health. The GIYC is currently exploring ways of working with EMRIP’s new mandate of engaging with individual countries on the implementation of UNDRIP.
