Indigenous Peoples' Rights in International Law: Emergence and Application

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

0/5 ( ratings)

This diverse collection of essays and articles emerged from a workshop held in Oslo in March 2012, hosted by the Norwegian Center for Human Rights and the University of Oslo. The purpose of the workshop was to gather memories of how the international community had decided to examine the situation of Indigenous peoples, to explore, explain and celebrate their pioneering work within the United Nations and the International Labour Organization. The participants also examined the impact of that work and were further asked to identify desirable future developments. The workshop and now this volume have brought together unique historical and political perspectives of the same events from a variety of different viewpoints. Participants were drawn from Indigenous communities, from the United Nations and the ILO, from national governments and from NGOs, all of whom had been involved in these discussions over the years – some since the very beginning. Among the participants in the workshop was Asbjørn Eide, the founding Chairperson of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations , and this book is dedicated to him on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
