DESCRIPTION:Much literature on climate-induced migration has focused on th
 e legal status of climate migrants. In this paper\, I will focus on one sp
 ecific area of international law that is relevant to climate-induced migra
 tion\, namely the right of persons belonging to minorities to enjoy their 
 cultures. It explores how international law may provide protection of indi
 genous peoples’ enjoyment of their cultures\, as guaranteed by Article 2
 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights\, in scenari
 os of climate-induced migration. I will peruse the Human Rights Committee
 ’s interpretation of Article 27\, with particular attention to its link 
 with the rights of peoples to self-determination and to freely dispose of 
 their natural wealth and resources as protected under Article 1 of the Cov
 enant.\n\nThis paper is part of the *CGHR Research Group*\, a forum for gr
 aduate students and early-career researchers from any department and disci
 plinary background researching issues of governance and human rights in th
 e global\, regional\, and national contexts. ["more details":http://www.po
