The Rights of Pastoralist Peoples. A Framework for their Recognition in International Law
Journal Title: The Age of Human Rights Journal - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Pastoralists are one of the most poverty stricken and underdeveloped existing human groups in the world. Until now, having remained practically invisible in the eyes of international law, it is desirable to open a debate concerning the recognition of their rights. The ideal situation would be to create a specific category of rights dedicated expressly to these pastoralist peoples. Therefore, one can surmise that there are two laws that constitute its essential content: the law protecting their way of life and their access rights to the land
