ON THE ISSUE OF PROTECTION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S RIGHTS DURING THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF ARCTIC TERRITORIES OF RUSSIA AND CANADA
Abstract
The land occupies a central place in the cosmology of indigenous peoples of the world and it is directly related to their self-determination, but many of them are still fighting for their rights to land and natural resources to be recognized by the state and other stakeholders, mainly mining companies. This is especially true for the aboriginals of the Arctic, whose importance will only increase due to the influence of natural processes taking place there on the world climate, economy and international relations. The authors of the paper compare national legislation and law enforcement practices of solving the urgent problem of reconciling the rights of indigenous peoples with the economic development of Arctic territories of Russia and Canada. This study is an analysis of rights to land and natural resources and their guarantees provided to indigenous peoples by domestic laws of two states. Conclusion reveals that the approaches chosen by Russia and Canada can be generally characterized respectively as paternalistic and liberal. At the same time, a tendency exists in Russia to adopt the corporate social responsibility of companies, which reflects the widespread practices, including that of Canada.
