Customary International Law and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Bibliographic record
Abstract
!e status of indigenous peoples in international law is a topic of growing interest.1 One area of debate concerns whether there is an international custom that protects the rights of indigenous peoples to their ancestral territories.2 !is paper seeks to add to this literature by examining the effect of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples3 (the “Declaration”), adopted in 2007 by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), on customary international law. As a whole, the Declaration reflects the view that indigenous rights should be protected under a specific regime, or that indigenous rights cannot be subsumed under general human rights law.4 !e Declaration reflects a number of significant principles, including the right to self-determination, the importance of consultation and cooperation between states and indigenous peoples, and recognition of the unique relationship between indigenous peoples and their lands and territories.5 Specifically, this paper asks, does the Declaration provide evidence of an existing

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
