This panel brings together leading Indigenous advocates and scholars from Canada, Australia, and Sápmi to explore how Indigenous Peoples engage global forums and legal instruments to pursue meaningful change within state systems. Panelists will reflect on the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the Voice to Parliament referendum, and broader debates over constitutional recognition in Australia; legal and legislative implementation of UNDRIP in Canada; and Sámi engagement in international diplomacy and cross-border governance in the Nordic region.

The discussion will explore why Indigenous Peoples turn to international forums to support domestic change, what forms of visibility and leverage these spaces provide, and how symbolic commitments like Uluru or UNDRIP can be translated into structures of accountability. Panelists will also consider how Indigenous actors balance participation in state systems with the assertion of Indigenous legal orders, and the role of youth, women, and intergenerational leadership in advancing global Indigenous advocacy.

Speakers:

Megan Davis, University of New South Wales and Visiting Professor, Harvard University

Gabrielle Appleby, University of New South Wales

Sheryl Lightfoot, University of Toronto and UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP)

Aili Keskitalo, Amnesty International Norway and former President of the Sámi Parliament in Norway

Dette panelet samler ledende urfolksforkjempere og akademikere fra Canada, Australia og Sápmi for å utforske hvordan urfolk engasjerer globale fora og juridiske instrumenter for å fremme meningsfull endring i statlige systemer. Paneldeltakerne vil reflektere over Uluru Statement from the Heart, folkeavstemningen Voice to Parliament samt bredere debatter om konstitusjonell anerkjennelse i Australia; juridisk og lovgivende implementering av UNDRIP i Canada; og samisk engasjement i internasjonal diplomati og grenseoverskridende styring i Norden.

Diskusjonen vil utforske hvorfor urfolk henvender seg til internasjonale fora for å støtte innenlandsk endring, hvilke former for synlighet og innflytelse disse arenaene gir, og hvordan symbolske forpliktelser som Uluru eller UNDRIP kan oversettes til ansvarlighetsstrukturer. Paneldeltakerne vil også vurdere hvordan urfolksaktører balanserer deltakelse i statlige systemer med hevdelse av urfolks rettsordener, og rollen til ungdom, kvinner og lederskap på tvers av generasjoner i å fremme global urfolkssamarbeid.
