It includes informal mechanisms to provide people with a sense of “justice” in various contexts and calls for respect and treatment of peoples with equal dignity, including proper consultation on matters pertaining to rights of affected peoples. Many indigenous peoples have suffered various forms of historical injustices and continue to face challenges to recognition of their rights. Recognising this, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples provide that respect for their rights involves recognising their rights to maintain control and connection to their lands, territories and forests, to strengthen indigenous juridical systems, their social, economic and cultural institutions, their rights to maintain their language, cultural heritage, customs, traditional knowledge, and rights of women in the community. As they cope with modern living, this involves giving them equal rights to critical health care and education. As indigenous peoples’ rights are both individual and collective in nature, indigenous peoples remain committed to their struggles and their culture continues to be vibrant while their traditional knowledge is a source of invaluable ingenuity. This helps to better understand their traditional knowledge is a source of invaluable ingenuity. This helps to better understand their traditional values which can help to inform formulation of national strategies, policies and laws, as well as the moulding of equitable remedies. OBJECTIVE OF THE CONFERENCE To provide a platform for academic forum by bringing together researchers, individuals and persons whose scholarly work involves indigenous peoples, to discuss issues concerning access to justice for indigenous communities. To explore avenues for full and effective participation of indigenous communities in various decision making institutions related to their rights and furtherance of their self determination in all spheres.
