READ ABOUT THE STORY BEHIND THIS SPINDLEWHORL
In 2019 the BC Legislature passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. This law requires all laws in BC to be brought into alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The BCLI has launched this Reconciling Crown Legal Frameworks program to support the research and innovations required to implement this legislation.
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 Indigenous legal frameworks. The BCLI will explore 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 support implementation of the Declaration Act, while also ensuring that this work supports reconciliation and access to justice for Indigenous peoples in BC.
We encourage you to get in touch with Karen Campbell at [email protected] or Megan Vis-Dunbar at [email protected].
