Clarifying Indigenous Approaches to Ecocide
Indigenous activists have increasingly asserted claims of ecocide in various international legal venues. While acting separately from each other, they reflect common concerns regarding destruction of the environment, particularly with respect to the impacts of environmental damage upon Indigenous communities. In doing so, they connect Indigenous interests in the environment to discourses over ecocide. The present analysis considers the appropriat…
Intersections of ecocide, indigenous struggle, & pro-democracy conflict: Implications of post-coup Myanmar for ecocide in international criminal law
Indigenous Identity, Human Rights, and the Environment in Myanmar: Local Engagement with Global Rights Discourses
This book draws on the experiences of the indigenous movement in Myanmar to explore how the local construction of indigenous identities connects communities to global mechanisms for addressing human rights and environmental issues. Various communities in Myanmar have increasingly adapted international discourses of indigenous identity as a vehicle to access international legal mechanisms to address their human rights and environmental grievances …
International human rights teachers in Myanmar universities: The individual constraints of structure on intermediaries
The literature on the transnational promotion of human rights looks to the role of intermediaries who facilitate connections between global and local discourses. Local discourses, however, may host actors and dynamics with diverse perspectives not entirely receptive to international norms, and so call for attention as to how they impact the work of intermediaries. Myanmar university human rights teachers serve an intermediary role, receiving inte…
Integrating the Anthropocene in Legal Education: Considerations for Asia
The scale and urgency of the consequences of the Anthropocene for human civilization call for comprehensive responses from human societies. As leaders in law, law schools have a role in helping their respective societies respond to the impacts of the Anthropocene. The present analysis discusses potential approaches to help law schools in Asia integrate the Anthropocene into their legal education curricula. Drawing upon existing legal education li…

Tour guides and the transnational promotion of human rights: Agency, structure and norm translators in responsible travel
Within tourism studies, the movement for ‘responsible tourism’ seeks to direct tourism in support of ideals such as sustainability and human rights. Central to the promotion of such ideals, however, is the tour guide who holds a critical position influencing the orientation of a tourism encounter. This article explores the capacities of tour guides to direct tourism encounters in support of human rights. The analysis draws upon tourism and human …
World heritage sustainable development policy & local implementation: Site management issues using a case study of Sri Ksetra at Pyu ancient cities in Myanmar
In November 2015, State Parties to the World Heritage Convention approved a resolution adopting a policy integrating sustainable development into World Heritage conservation (WH Policy). A central component of the WH Policy was an expectation for participatory models of management involving local communities in site management. This paper uses a case study of Sri Ksetra in Pyu Ancient Cities, Myanmar's first entry onto the World Heritage list, to…

The Hopi, thekatsinam, and the French courts: Looking outside the law in the repatriation of Indigenous cultural heritage
Katsinam (plural of katsina) are effigies central to the religion of the Hopi people of northern Arizona in the United States. Since 2013 the Hopi have sought the return of katsinam being sold in French auction houses. The Hopi have employed a series of legal actions to stop the auctions. All such actions, however, have been consistently denied by French courts. This paper uses social science analysis to understand why the legal actions of the Ho…
The Pyu Ancient Cities World Heritage application: Lessons from Myanmar on transnational advocacy networks
The announcement of 22 June 2014 from the World Heritage Committee that Pyu Ancient Cities had been added to the World Heritage List was significant for Myanmar, since it represented the country’s first World Heritage site. The World Heritage listing was the culmination of a process driven by a convergence of forces originating from within and outside of Myanmar. An interpretation of Pyu Ancient Cities as involving a transnational network of supp…
A Cautionary Note Regarding Indigenous Culture and Internet Search Technology
When Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr. addressed to the World Summit of the Information Society in 2005, he called for greater indigenous participation in the internet, with universal indigenous connectivity to assert indigenous "values, languages, traditions, and sovereignty." I argue, however, that such aspirations should be pursued with caution, as there are risks associated with internet technology and nuances that users must understand in ord…
Using Foucault to construct normative guidelines for an ethics of tourist–indigenous encounters
Tourism exploring indigenous cultures is supported by proponents as a way for historically marginalized indigenous people to use their culture as a revenue source, with the benefits of nurturing their culture while simultaneously generating income. Critics, however, charge that indigenous cultural tourism subjects indigenous people to non-indigenous demands and thus drives an exploitative process eroding indigenous culture. These arguments have a…
