IV. Conclusions
58.
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.
