Her country supported the work of the Special Rapporteur, the PermanentForum on Indigenous Issues and the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of IndigenousPeoples. At the thirty-third ordinary session of the Human Rights Council, Mexicohad proposed that the mandate of the Special Rapporteur be extended for threeyears. At the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, it had proposed raising thenumber of experts on the Expert Mechanism to seven; providing technical assistanceto States and indigenous peoples in the drafting of laws and national policies relatingto their rights; and encouraging greater coordination with other special procedures.70.
