Description :
The purpose of the paper is to describe some of the developments in international environmental law and their effect on domestic policy as it relates to indigenous peoples. These peoples have been inadequately represented in the international environmental negotiations. The World Heritage and the Biodiversity Conventions are mentioned in detail. Many indigenous peoples do not perceive or accept the relevance of international treaties or agreements to their day lives.
