Handbook of Indigenous ’ Peoples Rights Indigenouspeoplesaroundtheworldcontinuetofightdailybattlestosecurethemostbasicof their rights,includingnon-discrimination,eradicationofpoverty,respectfortheirlandrightsand protec- tionfortheirculturallife.ThisfirstmajorHandbookontherightsofindigenouspeoples 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 indi- genous women, mobilization for rights, justice and reparations, international protection mechanisms and several regional surveys. The book shows how indigenous peoples’ rights are dynamic and contested at both the national and international level. Although the UNDRIP is a widely accepted standard of indi- genouspeoples’rights,manyofitsprovisionsremainunimplemented,whilethescopeofothers is subjectto scrutiny. Thisposes numerous challenges for advocatesof indigenous rights andfor states and other actors with responsibilities to respect, protect and fulfil those rights.
