Legal Empowerment for Sustainable Development
The Center for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL) is pleased to launch a new Legal Worker Paper Series on Legal Empowerment for Sustainable Development. As defined by the High Level Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor, legal empowerment primarily entails strengthening access to justice and the rule of law as well as securing property rights, labour rights, and business rights for all individuals, especially those hailing from marginalized and disadvantaged communities. This Legal Working Paper Series will gather scholarship focusing on the law and policy aspects of different pillars of legal empowerment and on the cross-cutting effects of legal empowerment on both the environment and development.
Sustainable Development Law on Natural Resources
The Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL) is please to feature a cutting edge Working Paper Series on "Legal Aspects of Indigenous Sustainable Management of Natural Resources." The vital relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the natural environment is steadily being accepted in international law through such important legal instruments as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the ILO Convention 169 Indigenous and Tribal Peoples. With this Working Paper Series on "Legal Aspects of Indigenous Sustainable Management of Natural Resources," the CISDL aims to encourage new and rigorous scholarship of compelling interest to scholars and policy-makers active in relevant fields focusing on the law and policy aspects of different pillars of Indigenous sustainable management of natural resources.
