Progressive interpretations of human rights linked to biodiversity can support the characterisation of indigenous peoples' collective action [#1113]
Progressive interpretations of human rights linked to biodiversity can support the characterisation of indigenous peoples' collective action and its contribution. Lessons can be learned e.g. from cases before the Interamerican Court of Human Rights and interpretations of various human rights building on the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples).
