Comparative analysis on the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention No. 169, UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA) of the Philippines
All three instruments affirm the human rights and fundamental freedoms of the indigenous cultural communities and indigenous peoples on the basis of equality and non-discrimination.
A comparative analysis of ILO Convention No. 169, UNDRIP, and IPRA shows that the latter instrument has drawn heavily from the standards set in ILO Convention No. 169, while UNDRIP, being the latest of the instruments, further articulates, with emphasis on the roles of the United Nations and international cooperation, the rights of the indigenous peoples as enshrined in the two earlier instruments.
