Summary:

Indigenous peoples around the world continue to fight daily battles to secure the most basic of their rights, including non-discrimination, eradication of poverty, respect for their land rights and protection for their cultural life. This first major Handbook on the rights of indigenous peoples highlights the role of different actors in shaping such rights and the many challenges of implementation. The analysis in Handbook of Indigenous Peoples' Rights includes a broad range of existing and emerging rights while focusing principally on the rights framework established by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Key topics include: identity rights, governance, land rights, development and the environment, the rights of indigenous women, mobilization for rights, justice and reparations, international protection mechanisms and several regional surveys. The book shows how indigenous people's rights are dynamic and contested at both the national and international level. Although the UNDRIP is a widely accepted standard on indigenous peoples' rights, many of its provisions remain unimplemented while the scope of others is subject to scrutiny. This poses numerous challenges for advocates on indigenous rights and for states and other actors with responsibilities to respect, protect and fulfill those rights. Book jacket.
