Welcome to the United Nations
Addressee: ILO Committee of Experts, UNPFII
Full Text
The Permanent Forum recommends that an appropriate form of coordination should be explored between the Committee of Experts and the Forum regarding the implementation of ILO Convention No. 169. The Permanent Forum reiterates the need for a mechanism of coordination to also be established between the ILO supervisory mechanisms and indigenous peoples, which may include the establishment of an ad hoc committee consisting of indigenous representatives or experts.
Responses
ILO Reports (2010): The recommendations formulated by the UNPFII were brought to the attention of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) on the occasion of its 80th session (November-December 2009). With regard to the issue of coordination raised by the UNPFII, it should be noted that Convention No. 169 is one of the instruments in respect of which special arrangements have been made between the ILO and the United Nations, under which the PFII can contribute to the supervision of the application of the Convention. On the basis of the Agreement between the UN and the ILO, a member of the UNPFII participated in the work of the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards (98th session) in June 2009. During that session, the Conference Committee examined, among others, the application of Convention No. 169 in Peru.
