TY - JOUR A1 - Giordano, Nina T1 - The Te Awa Tupua Act: How Nature’s Legal Standing Strengthens Indigenous and Human Rights T2 - Journal of International and Digital Communication: Sustainability Perspectives N2 - This chapter illustrates the interconnections between indigenous peoples’ rights, human rights, and environmental protection, highlighting their potential to reinforce each other within the context of the RoN. Through the case study of the Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Act 2017, the discussion examines the implementation of RoN in Aotearoa, New Zealand, its alignment with Māori legal and spiritual traditions, and the broader implications for the country’s environmental policy, justice frameworks, and decolonization efforts.
