Abstract:
The International Labour Organization (ILO) was the first international organization to address indigenous and tribal issues and signal the need for cooperation and international attention. It has been working to protect and promote the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples since the early 1920s. ILO developed two international instruments relating exclusively to indigenous and tribal peoples: the Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107) – now closed for ratification – and the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169).1
Publisher/Organisation: Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the Secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (SPFII) of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).
