ADMJ 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Randomness, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, Natural Justice
Document Summary
A perennial and continuing dilemma for indigenous peoples, and for. Australian legisla- tures and courts, is how to grapple with the intersections of two laws: one historically grounded in the traditions of. Indigenous people and that continues to have contemporary relevance in their lives, the other arising from the introduction of english and later australian law into this part of the world. Indigenous law to indigenous people is indicated in box 19. 3. The place of aboriginal customary law is an issue that goes to the core of the colonial relations between the australian state and indigenous people. The acknowledgement, validation, interrela- tionships and dynamics of the two law systems warrant serious and critical scrutiny, as does legal reform that formally recognises aboriginal customary law among aboriginal people while retain- ing key elements of both. Australian law and emergent international human rights law. Law provides overarching framework of rules and obligations.
