Indigenous Peoples and the Law - LAW866
The special place of Indigenous peoples in Australia gives rise to unique questions of law. First, there is the challenge of acknowledging the existence of more than one legal order in the one geographical space. Then, there are the terms of coexistence of these legal orders. And finally, there is a question of how effectively the Australian legal system regulates issues particular to Indigenous peoples. The unit explores these issues in Australia, and also looks to the International legal community and the experience of other settler-colonised states in understanding the limits of law in protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples.
