Abstract

3 THE SMALL NATIONS OF THE NORTH IN INTERNATIONAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW A Seminar on The Small Nations of the North in International and Constitutional Law was held in June 1983 in Torshavn, Foryar. Most of the thirty participants were lawyers, political and social scientists tied to a university or administrative body concerned with autonomy matters. All Nordic countries were represented, (except Greenland), and British Isles and Canada as well. The seminar was made possible by a grant from The Nordic Foundation for Research Cources (Nordiske Forskerkurser) and by the generous hospital- ity of Nordic House, which founded the stay of the participants in Foroyar. Of all the persons who contributed to the success of the seminar, it appears appropriate to mention in particular Mr. Arni Olafsson, Director of Government; Mr. Erlendur Patursson, member of the Foroya Logting; and Mr. Sten Cold, Director of Nordic House, who made the stay in Foroyar a particular pleasant and interesting one. The seminar was the second in a planned suite where the main purpose is to bring out to a broader audience the basic legal questions of the Small Nations of the North. The first held on Aland in 1980 mostly illuminated in a comparative way the different autonomy systems and basic rights of indigenous peoples. The papers from that seminar were pub- . lished in NTfIR vol. 51 (1982). The present seminar aims to show similarities and draw conclusions of the various systems. As the seminar was held on the Faroe Islands questions of particular Faroe interest were explored. . A number of the papers read at the seminar are presented on the following pages. The last article, however, by E. Gayim is added because of its particular relevance for the subjects dealt with during the seminar.
