Study on Domestic Implementation of "UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples"in Japan.

《联合国土著人民权利宣言》列举了一般土著人民必须享有的个人和群体权利。它还承认每个土著人民和国家应根据其具体情况谋求实现《宣言》的权利。2008年，日本议会和政府终于承认阿伊努人是日本北部的土著居民。基于深入的跨学科研究，我们认为日本的新阿伊努政策应基于日本宪法第13条关于尊重个性的规定，其目的应是实现一个阿伊努人可以自由地以阿伊努人的身份生活的社会。

UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples enumerates individual and group rights necessary for the indigenous peoples in general. It also recognizes each and every indigenous peoples and countries to seek to realize the Declaration's rights according to their concrete conditions. Japanese parliament and government finally recognized the Ainu people to be the indigenous people of northern Japan in 2008. Based on intensive and interdisciplinary research, we assert that Japan's new Ainu policy should be based on the Article 13 of the Japanese Constitution stipulating respect for individuality and its purpose should be the materialization of a society where an ethnic Ainu can freely live with Ainu's identity.
