  • Divers path to justice: Legal pluralism and the rights of indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia (+)

    International human rights treaties affirm the rights of indigenous peoples to own and control the lands, territories, and natural resources that they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used. Many Southeast Asian countries have plural legal systems, including customary law. This report argues that customary law has both local and international validity, and explores the potential of what legal pluralism can offer as a concept and as a practice in the context of concrete experiences on the ground.
