imposition of foreign life-styless which they felt was too vague and might be interpreted as negating compliance with national iaws. 25. Participants in the indigenous peoples' preparatory meeting emphasized the importance of non-interference in indigenous peoples' affairs, which is at the fondation of many of the other provisions of the déclaration and expresses a natural and fundamental aspiration of many indigenous peoples. 26. The Chairman/Rapporteur acknowledges that the aim of including the référence to "foreign life-styles" in this draft article may be covered by the phrase "forced assimilation or intégration". As for "propaganda", she notes that this concept appears in article 20 of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights where it includes "any advocacy of national, racial or religions hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence". A restatement or définition may not be necessary in draft article 5, which could be rephrased accordingly, since it would seem clear E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/39 page 7 that any Government advocacy of forced assimilation or intégration of indigenous peoples would be prohibited by the earlier référence to "any act which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their ethnie characteristics or cultural identity". 27. It may be relevant in this context that ILO Convention No. 169, in article 31, imposes a positive duty on States to adopt educational measures among ail sections of the national community "'with the object of eliminating the préjudices that they may harbour in respect of thèse people". Article 11 of the draft déclaration aims in the same direction, Draft article 6 "The right to préserve their cultural Identity and traditions and to pursue their own cultural development. The rights to manifestations of their cultures, including archaeological sites, artefacts, designs, technology and works of arts, lie with the indigenous peoples or their members." 
**Analysis**

It references international conventions and covenants, such as the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights and ILO Convention No. 169, which suggests that the text is focused on human rights and cultural preservation.
