About this item
Indigenous Peoples & the Responsibility to Protect's image
Description: The Responsibility to Protect (R2P), despite its focus in the West as a foreign policy tool, is primarily a commitment from each state to protect its own population from mass atrocities. Among the most vulnerable minority groups, exposed to historical and ongoing human rights abuses, are indigenous peoples. How can we understand R2P as a mechanism for protecting minority groups subject to long standing historical practices of oppression? And how does the ‘State-centric’ focus of R2P account for the formal rights of autonomy and self-determination held by many indigenous peoples?
