Abstract

This special issue focuses on adjudication of indigenous peoples’ rights. In the last decades, indigenous peoples’ engagement with litigation has become a global phenomenon, with more and more indigenous communities engaging with court processes to get their rights recognised. Although for a long time litigation was mainly concentrated in post-colonial settlers’ societies such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the last few years have witnessed a notable increase in indigenous peoples’ recourse to courts across the globe. This is part of the larger ‘process of juridification’ of indigenous peoples’ politics, and the increased legal adjudication of indigenous claims.

Keywords: adjudication, indigenous people, juridification
