Abstract
This research paper concerns the human rights of indigenous peoples with the example of the Sami People in Sweden. The research aims to use this case to show an example of how human rights of indigenous peoples could be realized. The paper explores the question: “How can Sweden and the Sami People exemplify the rights of indigenous peoples under international law?” The aim of the paper is to explore how the human rights of the Sami People in Sweden have been realized and the possible further actions that could be taken. Through this example the paper will explore the limits of international law compared to domestic practices concerning the human rights of indigenous peoples. The methodology involves an analysis of international law and existing literature on topics relating to indigenous peoples. By using qualitative research, the history of Sami People will be explored, and the current cases of the Sami People connected to rights to land, rights to pursue culture and traditions such as the reindeer husbandry, and the cases of discrimination against the Sami will be compared to their rights as an indigenous population. By exploring the possible means to further the implementation of existing international law of indigenous peoples the case of the Sami People in Sweden will be evaluated. This research is contributing to the larger framework of human rights of indigenous peoples by evaluating the purposes of the existing legal framework and possible implementations of the human rights of indigenous peoples through the example of the Sami People in Sweden. Through the suggestions of reparations, this paper will explore the example of the practical realization of the human rights of indigenous peoples.
