 In seeking to reconcile group rights and individual rights, should we take a further step and deem some group rights to be human rights? Some international human rights documents already suggest that we should. The preambles to the UN’s Covenants on Civil and Political Rights (1966) and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966) characterise the rights each Covenant recognises as human rights. The first articles of both Covenants ascribe to all “peoples” the right of self-determination, the right freely to dispose of their natural wealth and resources, and the right not to be deprived of their means of subsistence. These are manifestly group rights but for the Covenants they would also seem to be human rights. The UN instrument that recognises collective human rights most expressly and abundantly is its Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007. The rights the Declaration announces include, for example, the rights of indigenous peoples “to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions” (art.5), their right that their cultures shall not be destroyed (art.8), and their right not to be forcibly removed from their lands and territories (art.10).
