Indigenous Peoples' Rights To Water Under International Norms, David H. Getches Jan 2005

Indigenous Peoples' Rights To Water Under International Norms, David H. Getches

Publications

In this article, Dean Getches examines the nature of international law as it relates to indigenous water rights and evaluates the kinds of claims that native peoples might assert when they are deprived of access to water. Around the world, indigenous peoples have experienced depletion or pollution of their traditional water sources caused by the uses made by dominant, non-native societies. As a result, native peoples' ability to perform water-dependent vocations like farming and fishing, and to perpetuate cultures and spiritual practices requiring water is limited. While a few countries recognize water rights of indigenous peoples in their domestic laws, …

Soldiers Of Semipalatinsk: Seeking A Theory And Forum For Legal Remedy, Anne Miers Kammer May 2004

Soldiers Of Semipalatinsk: Seeking A Theory And Forum For Legal Remedy, Anne Miers Kammer

San Diego International Law Journal

This Comment will address the unique dilemma of individuals in Kazakhstan whose health has been compromised by the former Soviet Union's 40-year period of nuclear testing on what is now Kazakhstan soil. The principal legal analysis of this Comment will focus on the availability of remedies (in the form of monetary damages available through legal resolution) to the citizens and/or state of Kazakhstan, and potential judicial forums in which to seek those remedies. Particular attention will be paid to the comparative likelihood of successful remedial legal action if pursued by a private class of Kazakhstan citizens versus action pursued by …


The Court Of Last Resort: American Indians In The Interamerican Human Rights System - Why American Indians Should Utilize Supranational Courts, Derek De Bakker Apr 2004

The Court Of Last Resort: American Indians In The Interamerican Human Rights System - Why American Indians Should Utilize Supranational Courts, Derek De Bakker

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the efforts of Native American groups to seek redress for human rights violations through the Inter-American human rights system, highlighting the limitations of the U.S. legal system in addressing indigenous rights. It focuses on key cases, such as the Yanomani, Miskito, and Dann cases, to illustrate how indigenous peoples are leveraging international mechanisms to assert their rights to land, cultural integrity, and self-determination. The analysis underscores the potential of the Inter-American Commission and Court to set precedents for indigenous rights in the United States.

Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault Jan 2004

Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault

Sustainable Development Law & Policy

This paper traces the evolution of free prior informed consent (“FPIC”) and describes the importance of FPIC to achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (“CBD”). It briefly highlights elements of current approaches to obtaining FPIC from national governments and local communities, identifies limitations to obtaining FPIC, and provides examples of how the Bonn Guidelines do and do not respond to these limitations. The paper does not provide a detailed analysis of all issues related to implementation of FPIC, but rather highlights issues that will, hopefully, promote constructive discussions to advance progress on the implementation of FPIC.
