CIGI’s International Law Research Program (ILRP) is a proud sponsor and plenary participant at this year’s Canadian Bar Association’s Aboriginal Law Conference. The conference will include plenary sessions and smaller concurrent sessions for group discussion on the topic of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) which has been a research focus for CIGI. Themes which will be explored in depth by the panels include UNDRIP and Canada’s constitutional framework, a framework for reconciliation versus a public relations scheme, free, prior and informed consent, lands, resources and the rise of international human rights.
In addition to CIGI led presentations the ILRP’s latest book Braiding Legal Orders will be featured.
