Additionally, the Declaration reflects the existing international consensus regarding the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples in a way that is coherent with and expands upon the provisions of the Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (Convention No. 169) of the International Labour Organization, as well as with the interpretations of other human rights instruments by international bodies and mechanisms. As the most authoritative expression of this consensus, the Declaration provides a framework of action for the full protection and implementation of these rights.
