Since the adoption of the Declaration in 2007, JOAS has also conducted numerous roadshows and workshops around the country to raise awareness on the UNDRIP. JOAS has also worked closely with SUHAKAM to promote the UNDRIP especially by translating and publishing the UNDRIP into the national language. In addition, JOAS has published a simplified version of the UNDRIP. Furthermore, JOAS has conducted a comparative study to examine the domestic laws and policies and to identify gaps that need to be addressed in order to ensure that the laws and policies are in line with the UNDRIP. Over the years, JOAS has also actively engaged with UN Mechanisms related to IP such as the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to submit input to studies as well as cases of human rights violations. It has also submitted its reports for Malaysia’s Universal Periodic Review in 2008 and 2013. 43
