Abstract / Bemerkung
In 1954, the International Labor Organization (ILO) launched the Andean Indian Program (AIP), a
rural development project aiming to assist Andean countries in integrating the indigenous peoples
of the highlands, the Quechua and Aymara, into the respective national communities. Only three
years later, the organization adopted Convention No. 107 called Indigenous and Tribal Populations
Convention, which is considered the starting point for the establishment of an international regime
of indigenous rights. Both Convention No. 107 and the AIP were presented by contemporaries and
historians alike as complementary cornerstones of ILO’s activities in the field of indigenous peoples.
Focusing on the history of the AIP and taking into account ILO internal documents, this article
explores the relation between the AIP and Convention No. 107. It argues that ILO’s technical
assistance activities in the field of indigenous peoples were only partially connected to Convention
No. 107 and furthermore ignored the discourse on indigenous rights. This article, therefore, helps
to recalibrate the reading of ILO’s agenda in the field of indigenous peoples in the period under
consideration and contributes new insights to the historiographical discussion of the ambivalent
relationship between human rights and development discourses in the post-WWII international arena.
