Peru ratified ILO Convention No. 169 in 1994. Important laws were also enacted to protect indigenous peoples in isolated regions or during initial contact, intercultural bilingual education, intellectual property of traditional knowledge and the creation of a national institute for Andean, Amazonian and Afro-Peruvian peoples (INDEPA).

It is also providing technical assistance for a consultation process that will terminate with a national plan for the implementation of Convention No. 169, with the participation of indigenous peoples.
