Summary

Deals with the revival of group consciousness prompted by democratization and the retreat of communism. Analyses international law with regard to the right to self-determination, the principle of territorial integrity and the growing mobility of people. Surveys the role of international organizations including the ILO. Refers to the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Populations Convention, 1957 (No. 107), and the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169). Includes the 1991 text of the Covenant of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO).
