Talk:Public International Law/Actors in International Law/Indigenous Peoples

Review: June 2, 2023
Dear Raghavi,

Thanks for this very important chapter that I finally had the time to read in depth. I agree that the chapter has great potential, but still needs some work. In addition to the comments in the text, here some overall points: - it wold be great if you could link your thoughts more explicitly to the central theme of the entire chapter: subjects and actors in IL, ideally already in the introduction. Why are indigenous peoples discussed in this context? See also the introductory chapter of Viljam, defining personhood etc. - Maybe you could also more explicitly use parts of your text to critizise the very category of personhood/subjecthood as it stands? I think there are some amazing examples in the text showing how things could be thought entirely differently. This would also be nice to take up again in the conclusions/outlook, again linking to the "subjects and actors" leitmotiv of the chapter. - I think the chapter needs to be a bit more "didactic": Given that this is a textbook for students with possibly little or even no prior knowledge, I think some central legal concepts and documents need to be introduced in a more systematic way. The chapter now almost reads as a journal article, but it should really give an overview and introduce the topic in rather accessible way.

best, Raffaela

Dear Raghavi,

Thank you for contributing this crucially important chapter to the textbook. I like the overall structure and agree with the topics you have chosen to include and I think the chapter has a lot of potential. For an introductory textbook chapter, however, which presupposes little knowledge and tries to convey the most important points in a concise and easily understandable manner, there is still some work to be done. I have added extensive comments in the text, which you can see by switching into editing mode. I hope you find these helpful, and I am happy to discuss them in more detail if you would like.

Warmly,

Sué

Your chapter provides valuable insights into indigenous peoples as actors of international law. You effectively highlighted the historical context, international instruments and recent developments.

Some minor things:

- Please use OSCOLA as your citation style and make sure you provide full and accurate references for all sources cited. It is important to take the time to ensure that all footnotes are correctly formatted according to OSCOLA.

– Please format your headlines according to our style guide.

- You will also find some comments in your chapter in which I elaborate on something more specifically. To view these comments, just open you chapter page and click on "Edit" in the top-right toolbox.

- Note also that the following parts are still missing: required knowledge, further readings

- You could add some links to other chapters of the textbook.

- Note that I have made some linguistic and stylistic improvements to the text

Dear authors
the content looks great, I am really looking forward to reading to draft in a couple of weeks! I love that you have a section on indigenous ways of learning and knowing (4) and legal orders (5). The topics you are aiming at covering are quite ambitious, so my main doubt would be whether you manage to do that in the limited word count. Looking at the content, it would probably be possible to join the rights in section 6 in one very short sections (in case you will need to shorten). Also, I was wondering the narrative on the chapter would not benefit from a start on indigenous peoples (so section 1, 4 and 5), followed by a embedding indigenous peoples in a broader context – first the state (2) and then international law (3 and 6). But it really depends on what you will include in the chapter, so that is just a thought. It was nice to have a possibility to engage with it!
