The Intercultural Human Rights Law Review welcomes submissions for Volume 21, scheduled for publication this spring.
We strive to foster open discussion while bringing critical attention to human rights issues worldwide. Through scholarship that pursues new directions, diverse perspectives, and innovative solutions, we aim not only to illuminate pressing challenges but also inspire meaningful dialogue and advance change.
We look forward to such submissions and wish you a Happy New Year.
Uncontacted peoples have an unparalleled ability to live well and unaided in their territories — when their rights are respected. Yet they are all at risk from an industrial society that commodifies them and their territories, or dismisses them as insignificant obstacles to ‘development’ or profit. Almost half are on the verge of destruction. But there is hope. If governments recognize and enforce their rights, if industries, companies and other actors respect these rights, and if the public supports their rights, uncontacted Indigenous peoples can survive and thrive.
