At the time of writing, the Convention has been ratified by a total of
20 states, the majority Latin American. Today the list of ratifications
of the Convention is composed of the following countries: Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Denmark, Dominica, Ecuador, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,
Nepal, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, and
Venezuela.

Together with the Spanish State, the Netherlands and two other
European states, Norway and Denmark are part of the Convention.
The latter two countires each havean indigenous population. For our
question, the former two share the problem that we hope to outline
because they lack indigenous peoples within their borders and sovereign
territories.
