Under the public eye, Mexico has shown itself to be a fervent advocate of Indigenous rights at both the international and domestic levels. In 2007 it voted in favor of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and it is a signatory to the ILO 169 Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples. In addition, its constitution lists a number of articles protecting Indigenous Peoples’ rights. Nevertheless, violence against Indigenous Peoples is prevalent in the country.
