Work in Progress
Reconciling Crown Legal Frameworks
Implementation of the Declaration Act presents new legal issues and research opportunities. Innovative law reform and education will be required to enable the Crown legal system to align with and accommodate Indigenous legal frameworks. The BCLI will explore and design approaches to support Declaration Act implementation, building on our deep understanding of Crown law and comparative legal frameworks. Our emphasis will be to develop ways that the Crown legal system needs to adjust to align with and implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, while also ensuring that this work supports reconciliation and access to justice for Indigenous peoples in BC.
We welcome hearing from you about this program and this work. We encourage you to get in touch with Karen Campbell at [email protected].
