Indigenous Rights in South Asia: Current Struggles in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal

This webinar is the second in a series co-organised by the Australian National University Law School (ANU Law School), the American Society of International Law (ASIL), the Law Association for Asia and the Pacific (LAWASIA) and Harvard Law School | Human Rights Program. The series presents a review of the status of Indigenous rights struggles in the diverse countries of the Asia-Pacific region. 

This second webinar looks at South Asia, with focus on Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. All three countries host ongoing Indigenous rights struggles, with contrasting issues and experiences. The webinar is intended for audiences unfamiliar with South Asia and surveys the major features of Indigenous rights discourses in the region. The webinar features Indigenous legal scholars from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, who will draw upon their personal experiences to introduce the current conditions for Indigenous peoples in their respective countries and explore potential challenges for the future.
