Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The organization of indigenous peoples as a transnational movement with a high profile at the United Nations (UN) raises two interrelated questions. First, how did indigenous peoples, often the most marginalized populations inside states, organize as a transnational movement and obtain access to the UN, commonly understood as a system created by states for states? Second, how did the indigenous movement within the UN influence the establishment of bodies and mechanisms dedicated to indigenous rights and issues? Drawing from the literature on transnational activism, this paper elaborates on the role of indigenous peoples as a particular type of non-state actors, and investigates the ways in which indigenous peoples as a movement have affected change within the UN, and the ways in which the interaction of the movement and the UN affected the development of the movement itself. This paper highlights the significance of the participation of indigenous peoples in the standard-setting process of indigenous rights and argues that this lengthy and contested process has been central to the shaping of the international indigenous movement. It also emphasizes the autonomous role played by certain part of the UN bureaucracy and expert bodies in assisting the goal achievement of indigenous peoples within the UN system. This research has the potential to further the dialogue between human rights scholars from the disciplines of international relations and international law and scholars of international organizations.
