Indigenizing International Law

Arctic Circle Season 3 Episode 92

In this episode, we analyze and assess the effectiveness of current legal protection frameworks under international law in safeguarding the rights of Indigenous peoples and the security of Arctic communities, amidst climate change-driven security challenges and growing global interests in the region.

Our panelists include:

  • Kate Mackintosh: Executive Director of the UCLA Law Promise Institute Europe

The discussion is moderated by Dalee Sambo Dorough, Senior Scholar & Special Adviser on Arctic Indigenous Peoples at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
