Defining ‘indigenous people’ Sample Clauses

Defining ‘indigenous people’. The UNDRIP deliberately abstains from defining indigenous peoples, following the advice of Special Rapporteur Xxxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx who suggested that ‘justice would best be served by allowing the scope of this concept to evolve flexibly over time, through practice.’145 In 2010, the following criteria were suggested by the ILA’s Working Committee on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights: · self-identification: self-identification as both indigenous and as a people; · historical continuity: common ancestry and historical continuity with pre- colonial and/or pre-settler societies; 141 According to General Comment No 21 (n. 134): the right of ‘access to culture’ includes the rights as listed in the UNDRIP (see paras 7 and 37). See also X. Xxxxxxxx, ‘Culture: Articles 11(1), 12, 13(1), 15, and 34’, The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: A Comment- ary (2018) Oxford University Press, 275. 142 See also International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No 169 Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries (adopted 27 June 1989) 28 ILM 1382 (Conven- tion No 169) art 4. It requests states to take special measures to ‘safeguard’ the cultures of indigenous peoples. 143 UNDRIP (n. 9) art 11(2). 144 Ibid. art 12(1): ‘Indigenous peoples have the right to manifest, practice, develop and teach their spiritual and religious traditions, customs and ceremonies; … the right to the use and control of their ceremonial objects; and the right to the repatriation of their human remains.
