It considers the right to self-determination, the history of Indigenous peoples at the United Nations, and in relation to armed conflict. It critically examines the participation of Indigenous peoples, especially Australian Indigenous peoples and the contribution of this participation to the development of international law and legal process, especially in the areas of human rights, trade, intellectual property, and biodiversity.
