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.
