The rights of indigenous peoples have remained a priority for OHCHR. During the period under review, OHCHR further strengthened its work to advance the rights of indigenous peoples at the country level and increased its efforts to give practical guidance on the content of the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to various key stakeholders ranging from Parliamentarians to national human rights institutions. 59. The United Nations Indigenous Peoples Partnership (UNIPP) initiative has also prompted United Nations partners to come together coherently, guided by the principles set forth in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and ILO Convention No. 169 (1989) concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries. OHCHR has worked closely with the indigenous experts and United Nations agencies involved to ensure that all UNIPP country programmes are not merely about indigenous peoples, but also designed and implemented with their participation, and implemented in true partnership with indigenous peoples and States. 13
