Indigenous Peoples’ Status in the International Legal System, written by Mattias Åhrén

Indigenous Peoples’ Status in the International Legal System, written by Mattias Åhrén Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2016, isbn: 978–0198778196, 288 pages.Academic interest around the question of indigenous peoples’ rights has not waned following the adoption, in 2007, of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Declaration). Indeed, as the Declaration’s tenth anniversary is approaching, books continue to be published on various aspects of this important subject. Some of these works focus directly on the (slow) process of implementation of the Declaration as well as the intertwined need to elucidate the legal contours of relevant rules and principles, while others explore more nuanced questions that are nevertheless connected, to various degrees, with the ultimate realization of indigenous rights. An example of the latter category is Mattias Åhrén’s Indigenous Peoples’ Status in the International Legal System, which originates from a doctoral dissertation successfully defended at Uit-The Arctic University of Norway in October 2010. Although the title might seem to suggest otherwise, the book does not engage in a systematic analysis of the status of indigenous peoples as subjects, or actors, of the international legal system. Instead, its aim is to outline more broadly the nature of indigenous peoples’ rights under contemporary international law.
