When a company or State (whatever it may be) If you say you adhere to ILO Convention No. 169, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples or John Ruggie's Guiding Principles, what exactly does that mean? And who can assess and monitor the degree of compliance?
This report offers a tool, which we hope will be valid, to objectively and impartially measure the level of compliance of companies and States with respect to their own voluntary commitments and the levels of coherence of these commitments with international standards and with the Guidelines on human rights and the private sector.
The report was authored by Mikel Berraondo and ECODES and was funded by theSpanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID)
This tool, which is part of the “Protect, Respect, Remedy” framework of the Ruggie Guidelines, is essentially a “battery of indicators” that, in business language, brings us closer to these new legal contexts.
But the report goes further, delving into the commitments and obligations arising from international human rights law that a country like Ecuador, which has signed ILO Convention No. 169, should assume, providing arguments for establishing binding national frameworks that include the actions of companies operating in Ecuadorian territory, regardless of their origin.

Ultimately, what is presented here is a contribution to advancing the promotion of international human rights standards (of indigenous peoples) in the private sector.
