Ronald Niezen, Faculty of Law and Department of Anthropology, McGill University

Since their first appearance in the UN in the late 1970's, the advocates and organizations working on behalf of indigenous peoples have made significant chagnes to international law and opened new spaces for participation in the United Nations.  How might (or might not) these new conditions of visibility contribute to human rights compliance by states?  This question leads us to a wider consideration of the leverage points of public dissent and diplomacy in global organizations, how activits can sometimes bring about recognition and restitution in institutions built upon the privilege of the very powerful.

 

Part of the Lampert Institute's "Human Rights" Series.
