This book highlights the cogency and urgency of the protection of indigenous peoples and discusses crucial aspects of the international legal theory and practice relating to their rights. These rights are not established by states; rather, they are inherent to indigenous peoples because of their human dignity, historical continuity, cultural distinctiveness, and connection to the lands where they have lived from time immemorial. Given the sensitivity of the Salesian Congregation to human rights and the attention that the whole Church is dedicating to the needs of indigenous peoples, it can certainly be a useful reading for an in-depth examination of these issues.
