Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2010, Publicación: 100ª reunión CIT (2011)

The Committee notes the Government’s first report. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that there are no indigenous or tribal peoples in Spain, and as a result, the provisions of the Convention are not applicable within its territory. The Government refers to national and European legislation concerning equality of treatment and non-discrimination, as well as the National Human Rights Plan, one of the objectives of which is to promote human rights in the institutional framework. The Committee welcomes this ratification and the technical cooperation funds received from the Government to support the ratification and better implementation of the Convention in a number of countries, despite the absence of indigenous and tribal peoples within its territory. The Committee considers that this could contribute positively towards the ratification of the Convention by other countries even those that do not have indigenous and tribal peoples. It also reinforces the impact and relevance of the Convention and at the same time provides a benchmark for development assistance.
