The Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law (NIEM/Arctic
Centre) announces a new publication entitled "The Right to a Decent
Environment: With Special Reference to Indigenous Peoples."

The publication, authored by Tuula Kolari, is part of the joint project
between NIEM, the law department of the University of Joensuu, and the
Human Rights Policy Division of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of
Finland, which culminated with an expert seminar organised last August
in Rovaniemi, Finland. The main focus of Kolari's research is how a
decent environment has been specified in various United Nations
processes, especially from the perspective of indigenous peoples.
