Indigenous Peoples in International Law - LAWS8413 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description The past three decades have seen the worlds more than 300 million indigenous people make significant advances in international law with the recognition of Indigenous rights through current and newly established mechanisms that advance the development of norms relating to Indigenous rights. The international system has responded to the increased awareness of the human rights problems Indigenous peoples face and as a result, discernible trends and normative developments have emerged at the international level relating to Indigenous peoples.
