Author(s): Tobin B
Abstract:
This innovative piece of work highlights the essential importance of customary law in achieving the human rights of Indigenous peoples and in establishing effective legal governance at both national and international levels. The book examines the legal standing of customary law and its connection with positive and natural law, spanning from the era of Plato to the present day. This text explores the increasing acknowledgment of a particular subject in the fields of constitutional and international law, as well as its reliance on and occasionally tense connection with human rights law.
