Derechos Indigenas: concreción local del derecho internacional

The International Labor Organization (ILO) adopted the Convention 169 on the Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries in 1989. This is an international treaty subject to multiple interpretations. It is localized in contexts characterized by ethnic difference and economic inequality. This talk draws attention to the resignification processes that Convention ILO 169 has experienced, both for and against Latin American indigenous peoples. They can be useful to reflect on the contingencies and contradictions of the globalization of law and how to study them.
