The Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Ethnic Minorities

This course addresses the human rights of indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, taking up contemporary tensions such as religious, social and political conditions, 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.

Efter kursen förväntas studenten:

  • show a comprehensive understanding of how indigenous peoples as well as the rights of ethnic and national minorities are defined in international law
  • with good understanding of the theoretical framework critically discuss how these rights relate to the nation-state and to democracy
  • demonstrate independent thinking and competence in undertaking research on indigenous peoples’ relationship to majority populations and cultural frameworks
  • show a comprehensive understanding of the situation of indigenous peoples in Scandinavia and the world
