Summary/Abstract: The rights of indigenous people have been a common subject of international law for a long time. The main issues here are the enforcement of their rights to live in their natural habitat and have control over their native territory and the preservation of their culture. Nowadays, there exists a normative framework upon which the indigenous people can rely on in order to defend their rights. However, still exists some legislation, which could result in the compromising of these rights. This article reviews the most relevant legal provisions that contribute towards the protection of indigenous people but also pertain the threats to their freedom and highlights some of the most important issues that relate to this subject.
