Tribes, Land, And The Environment, 1d, Sarah Krakoff, Ezra Rosser Apr 2012

Tribes, Land, And The Environment, 1d, Sarah Krakoff, Ezra Rosser

Books

Legal and environmental concerns related to Indian law and tribal lands remain an understudied branch of both indigenous law and environmental law. Native American tribes have a far more complex relationship with the environment than is captured by the stereotype of Indians as environmental stewards. Meaningful tribal sovereignty requires that non-Indians recognize the right of Indians to determine their own relationship to the land and the environment. But tribes do not exist in a vacuum: in fact they are deeply affected by off-reservation activities and, similarly, tribal choices often have effects on nearby communities. This book brings together diverse essays …

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.
