Divers Paths to Justice: Legal pluralism and the rights of indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia

Journal Articles & Books
October, 2011
Indonesia
Malaysia
Philippines
Thailand
South-Eastern Asia

This publication reveals that the majority of Southeast Asian countries already have plural legal systems, and to some extent custom is recognised as a source of rights in the legal framework of a number of them. National and international courts have affirmed indigenous peoples’ customary rights in land. And all these countries have endorsed and ratified key international human rights laws and treaties-- thus, the basis for securing indigenous peoples’ rights through a revalidation of customary law exists.
