of Racial Discrimination

Summary record of the meeting of the Intergovernmental Working Group on the
Effective Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and
follow-up to the request by the latter inviting the Committee to consider assessing
the current implementation of the Convention.
All the necessary legal provisions had been adopted to ensure better integration of indigenous communities and lower caste groups (such as the Dalits and a wide range of programmes to combat poverty had been initiated under the Tenth Periodic Plan (2003-2007). Provisions had also been made to improve the representation of indigenous communities in Parliament and in local institutions. Moreover, the Government had decided to authorize the use of a language other than Nepalese in local institutions. That second working language would be chosen from among those spoken by the greatest number of indigenous people at the local level.
