Course

The Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Ethnic Minorities

Dilemmas related to human rights are often at their most difficult in relation to indigenous peoples’ and ethnic minorities’ traditions and religious practices, as well as their social and political circumstances. This course addresses the human rights of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, taking up contemporary tensions between national sovereignty and collective and individual rights, as well as questions of identity. Significant emphasis is placed on the arguments that have been asserted by actual minority groups.
