After a comprehensive analysis of the existing instruments on indigenous rights, the discussion turns to self-determination. Different views are assessed and a fresh perspective on the right to self-determination is outlined. Ultimately, the author refuses to shy away from difficult questions and challenging issues and offers a comprehensive discussion of indigenous rights and their contribution to international law. It offers a comprehensive analysis of a very topical issue from the international law; uses United National statements and materials that are not widely circulated; offers a rare use of state practice from all over the world, rather than a few countries, to back up indigenous land claims."--Publisher's description ER -
