that does not run counter to the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity
and the Protocols thereto, which are in effect on the date of its entry into force.

- The use of the term 'indigenous peoples and local communities' in future decisions
and all secondary documents shall not serve as a context for the interpretation of
the Protocol, or a subsequent agreement nor subsequent practice, among the Parties
to the Protocol, within the meaning of article 31 of the Vienna Convention on the
law of treaties of 23 May 1969, which codifies customary international law in this
area.
With reference to the declaration that it made during the adoption of the United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of 13 September 2007, France would
recall that, in accordance with the constitutional principles of the indivisibility
of the Republic and the unity of the French people, the French people is composed
of all French citizens without distinction based on origin, race or religion. Under
those principles and the principle of the equality of citizens before the law, only
the French people as a whole can be granted rights.
