Cultural Rights – Poorly recognised, caught up in individualistic atomistic conception of human rights.
Recognition of human rights as ‘a community of rights’ - Alan Gewirth (1996) Community of Rights Recognition of Customary Law - Innovation frameworks in customary systems (Is there such as thing as indigenous IP?)
‘ Can we move beyond the relative and the universal to build order without imposing it, to accept pluralism without giving up on a common law?’ - M. Delmas-Marty (2009) Ordering Pluralism: A Conceptual
framework for understanding the transnational legal world
