The main purpose of this Guide is to provide governments, indigenous and tribal peoples and workers’ and employers’ organizations with a practical tool for the implementation of indigenous peoples’ rights, based on the experiences, good practices and lessons learned that have been generated so far. The Guide does not attempt to provide a blueprint for implementation. The diversity of situations faced by indigenous peoples does not allow for a simplistic transfer or replication of models from one country to another. Rather, the Guide is a catalogue of ideas that hopefully will be assessed, discussed and, eventually, will inspire adaptation of good practices to national and local circumstances.
