Beginning in the 20th century, international law expanded beyond law between nations to eventually embrace the concept of human rights. However, until recently, human rights efforts were focused mostly on individuals, their rights and the obligations of the State in question. Indigenous peoples, on the other hand, have always articulated their collective rights, and, to their credit, achieved notable success. While there is no doubt that these achievements should be applauded, what is also of interest, and deserves further study, are the ways in which human rights jurisprudence concerning indigenous peoples’ collective rights intermingle, cross-fertilize and integrate. This dynamic relationship between the various sources of indigenous rights law has had a tremendous impact locally, changing how States interact with the indigenous peoples living within its borders. The first aim of this paper will be to explore the above-mentioned topics in detail with a particular eye on the African human rights systems. Secondly, this paper will examine how they relate to the Endorois case that was recently decided by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights. This paper will conclude with an investigation into what this could mean for indigenous peoples’ rights in the African context.
