E/C.12/HND/CO/2 12. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Launch a broad-based process of consultation with indigenous peoples to involve them in a participatory way in the preparation of the draft framework law on prior and informed consultation; (b) Ensure that the aforementioned legislation is in compliance with best international standards, including the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; (c) Ensure that indigenous peoples are regularly consulted with a view to obtaining their free, prior and informed consent in respect of decision-making processes that may affect their ability to exercise their economic, social and cultural rights, and ensure that their views are respected; (d) Take additional measures to safeguard the right of indigenous peoples to dispose freely of their lands, territory and natural resources, including through legal recognition and protection as necessary. National Human Rights Commission 13. The Committee is concerned by the fact that the National Human Rights Commission lacks the necessary resources, independence and credibility to carry out its mandate effectively and that the institution has been downgraded to category B status by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (previously called the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights) (art. 2 (1)). 14. The Committee recommends that the State party adopt the necessary legislative and administrative measures to ensure that the National Human Rights Commission is in full compliance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (Paris Principles) and can thus discharge its mandate with regard to economic, social and cultural rights. Independence of the judiciary 15. The Committee is concerned by the lack of effective guarantees to ensure the independence and impartiality of judges, magistrates and other judicial officials (art. 2 (1)). 16. The Committee recommends that the State party take all steps necessary to ensure that judges and magistrates are selected and appointed by an independent body, in full transparency and with priority given to merit, ability and integrity. In addition, the Committee urges the State party to take all necessary action to guarantee the independence and safety of the judiciary in the exercise of its functions and thereby safeguard the enjoyment of human rights, including economic, social and cultural rights. Corruption 17. While the Committee takes note of the establishment of the Mission to Support the Fight against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras and of the efforts deployed to investigate corruption at the Honduran Social Security Institute, it is concerned that the anti-corruption effort is not achieving the necessary results (art. 2 (1)). 18. The Committee recommends that the State party should, as a matter of priority, tackle the root causes of corruption, take all legislative and administrative action 4 GE.16-11828
