Research + Analysis

Researching the Implementation of Foreign and International Law on International Indigenous Peoples

Sunday, July 16, 2023
11:30am – 12:30pm EDT
Location: Hynes-306
Since its passing in 2017, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has become a pathway to define and delineate the rights (education, health employment, culture, etc.) of indigenous peoples throughout the world. Despite its importance, the Declaration’s implementation has become an uphill battle for several national governments as well as international law. Speakers will describe how the implementation has involved private law firms, government agencies, and indigenous communities in other countries such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Special importance will be given to finding relevant sources, analysis, and way forward as well as different research methods and strategies used to access relevant information.

This program is sponsored by the Foreign, Comparative & International Law SIS.

Target Audience:

All law librarians interested in how current issues related to indigenous peoples here in the United States connect to other jurisdictions.

Takeaways:

  • Participants will identify the best sources of information for foreign cases and international law on international indigenous peoples.
  • Participants will compare the different research methods and strategies used to research case law, legislation, and current issues in other countries.
  • Participants will describe the different implementation plans in several different countries.
