INDSL2006 Indigenous Rights in the International Arena
This unit explores key concepts, theories, issues and debates relating to the recognition and protection of human rights and the rights of Indigenous peoples in Australia and internationally. The unit will provide students with a broad overview of the development and consolidation of the international human rights regime, as well as of the relationship between international and domestic law within the Australian context. In particular, the unit is focused on an examination of the emergence, impacts and ongoing role of the international Indigenous peoples¿ movement in advocating for Indigenous rights in Australia and around the world. Within a rights-based framework, students will critically engage with a series of social and political issues and debates relating to the status and experiences of Indigenous peoples in settler-colonial Australia. The unit is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage ethically with questions and debates concerning the recognition and protection of both human and Indigenous rights in Australia and internationally, and thus to enable them to become culturally competent Australian and global citizens.
