Description

World Trade Law

This course aims to give students a solid understanding of the international legal frameworks for the protection and promotion of Indigenous rights by introducing core legal instruments and institutions.  In particular this course will focus on international human rights law, though presenting where appropriate frameworks from across a range of domestic jurisdictions including Aotearoa New Zealand inviting a comparative approach to the protection and promotion of Indigenous rights.  This international subject matter will introduce students to a variety of historical and contemporary administrative, art, criminal, constitutional and property law issues which concern Indigenous Peoples.  Thematic emphasis will be placed on issues related to self-determination, discrimination, land and culture.  These cross jurisdictional and cross cutting issues will challenge students to think critically about the current transnational approach to Indigenous rights.

Course materials and assessments will be drawn from a variety of primary and secondary sources including cases, commentary, legislation, popular media and other sources as appropriate.
