International Human Rights Law and Indigenous Peoples

Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of international human rights law and indigenous rights, this essay examines the protections afforded to indigenous peoples despite the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' silence on the matter. It highlights how the UDHR laid the groundwork for the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, both of which contain a common Article 1 that safeguards indigenous livelihoods, thereby addressing the legal framework surrounding these crucial issues.
