The class will focus on the domestic legal situation of indigenous peoples in the Polar region. The Arctic states considered in this class (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Northern Canada and Russia) show a broad variety of arrangements concerning the individual and collective status of indigenous peoples, and can be considered as paradigmatic examples how the rights of indigenous peoples are recognised and implemented by modern nation states.
The class will consider selected aspects of indigenous peoples` land and resource rights, self-government arrangements, cultural rights, issues of legal pluralism and problems of defining the membership in indigenous groups or peoples.
Due to the special research focus of Prof. Koivurova the class will also consider the developments and impacts on the national situation of indigenous peoples by regional international instruments (esp. Draft Saami Convention)
