This submission offers suggestions about the modalities for the 2013 Forum, in order to build upon the achievements and momentum of last year's Forum, to encourage greater participation from affected rights-holders, civil society, business, and government representatives, and to expand the reach of the UNWG through regional fora. A proposal is made for a multi-stakeholder session on implementing indigenous peoples’ rights through the operationalization of the UN Guiding Principles. The ICC WG proposes further thematic topics for inclusion in the programme.
