Ancient Indigenous Human Remains and the Law Hardback
by Fiona Batt
Part of the Routledge Research in International Law series
Hardback
Description
Indigenous peoples are increasingly making requests for the return of their ancestors’ human remains and ancient indigenous deoxyribonucleic acid.
However, some museums and scientists have refused to repatriate indigenous human remains or have initiated protracted delays.
There are successful examples of the return of ancient indigenous human remains however the focus of this book is an examination of the "hard" cases.
The continued retention perpetuates cultural harm and is a continuing violation of the rights of indigenous peoples.
Therefore this book develops a litigation Toolkit which can be used in such disputes and includes legal and quasi legal instruments from the following frameworks, cultural property, cultural heritage, cultural rights, collective heritage, intellectual property, Traditional Knowledge and human rights.
The book draws on a process of recharacterisation. Recharacterisation is to be understood to mean the allocation of an indigenous peoples understanding and character of ancient indigenous human remains and ancient indigenous DNA, in order to counter the property narrative articulated by museums and scientists in disputes.
