At its 49th plenary meeting, on 25 July 2003, the

Economic and Social Council decided:

(a) To postpone consideration of the review mandated

by its decision 2002/286 of 25 July 2002 of all existing

mechanisms, procedures and programmes within the United

Nations concerning indigenous issues, with a view to

rationalizing activities, avoiding duplication and overlap and

promoting effectiveness, to its substantive session of 2004;

(b) To request the Secretary-General to seek information related to the review from those Governments, nongovernmental organizations, indigenous peoples organizations and the relevant organs and bodies of the United Nations system, including the special mechanisms seized with indigenous issues, which have not yet submitted their views;

(c) Also to request the Secretary-General, on the basis of the information received, to provide additional substantive analysis addressing the elements contained in paragraph 8 of its resolution 2000/22 of 28 July 2000.
