In this vital Advanced Introduction, Dinah Shelton and Federico Guzman Duque examine the human rights of indigenous peoples and communities under current international law. Setting out a historical overview of the legal treatment of native populations from the colonial period to the present, the authors deftly analyse frameworks of institutions monitoring indigenous human rights, theoretical issues relating to these, access to justice and reparations, and special considerations afforded to specific indigenous communities.
Key Features:
Providing a panoramic view of a complex and rapidly evolving subject, this Advanced Introduction will prove a crucial read for legal practitioners and public officials, as well as indigenous leaders and human rights defenders. It will also appeal to students, scholars and researchers of human rights law, and law and society.
