This work is the first to assess the legality and impact of
colonisation from the viewpoint of Aboriginal law, rather than from
that of the dominant Western legal tradition. It begins by
outlining the Aboriginal legal system as it is embedded in
Aboriginal people's complex relationship with their ancestral
lands. This is Raw Law: a natural system of obligations and
benefits, flowing from an Aboriginal ontology. This book places Raw
Law at the centre of an analysis of colonisation - thereby
decentring the usual analytical tendency to privilege the dominant
structures and concepts of Western law. From the perspective of
Aboriginal law, colonisation was a violation of the code of
political and social conduct embodied in Raw Law. Its effects were
damaging. It forced Aboriginal peoples to violate their own
principles of natural responsibility to self, community, country
and future existence. But this book is not simply a work of
mourning. Most profoundly, it is a celebration of the resilience of
Aboriginal ways, and a call for these to be recognised as central
in discussions of colonial and postcolonial legality. Written by an
experienced legal practitioner, scholar and political activist,
AboriginalPeoples, Colonialism and International Law: Raw Law will
be of interest to students and researchers of Indigenous Peoples
Rights, International Law and Critical Legal Theory.
