New Publication on Development & Customary Law

Posted 24 June 2011, by Staff, Natural Justice, natural-justice.blogspot.com

The International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) recently released an issue of “Indigenous Affairs”. Edited by Jens Dahl and Geneviève Rose, it includes a range of articles on different aspects of customary law, self-determination, and development among Indigenous peoples in Kenya, Sabah (Malaysia), India, Bolivia, and Russia. The editorial explores the importance of customary law for Indigenous peoples’ self-determined development, self-governance, control and management of their territories, and addressing internal challenges such as conflict resolution and women’s rights. The full issue can be downloaded here: http://www.iwgia.org/iwgia_files_publications_files/0470_IA_1_2_2010.pdf
