This examination of the role played by the United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in
advancing indigenous peoples' self-determination comes at a time
when the quintessential Eurocentric nature of international law has
been significantly challenged by the increasing participation of
indigenous peoples on the international legal scene. Even though
the language of human rights discourse has historically contributed
to delegitimise indigenous peoples' rights to their lands and
cultures, this same language is now upheld by indigenous peoples in
their on-going struggles against the assimilation and eradication
of their cultures. By demanding that the human rights and freedoms
contained in various UN human rights instruments be now extended to
indigenous peoples and communities, indigenous peoples are playing
a key role in making international law more 'humanising' and less
subject to State priorities.
