Implementation of the ILO Convention №169 in the Legal System of the Russian Federation
This article will consider the implementation of ILO Convention concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries №169 in the legal system of Russia. The main purpose of this research is to examine the issue of acceptance of ILO Convention № 169 in the Russian Federation. Methods used in this article are analysis and comparison. Unfortunately, according to statistical data, violations of the rights of indigenous peoples are still observed today. That is why the ratification of ILO Convention № 169 is a highly discussed topic. However, many provisions of the convention are not applicable in the Russian Federation. The issues of land, small number criteria, and the way of life of indigenous peoples are controversial. In this research, we compare the provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation and the provisions of the convention, and also give statistical data on violations of the rights and legitimate interests of indigenous small peoples in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). At the end of the study, we conclude that it is advisable to apply ILO Convention № 169 in the legal system of the Russian Federation, with certain reservation.
