A Made in Australia Model for Indigenous-State Treaty-Making

该项目旨在解决土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民社区与澳大利亚政府谈判条约时必须解决的关键公法问题。 该项目预期将产生新的知识，了解加拿大和新西兰这两个比较州成功缔结条约背后的法律的、政治、体制和其他因素，以及澳大利亚政府参与缔结条约的法律的能力。 这一项目的预期成果包括制定具有独特创新性和灵活性的“澳大利亚制造”条约制定模式，这些模式在宪法上是可行的。 这应能带来重大好处，例如提高条约进程取得成功的可能性。

This project aims to address the key public law issues that must be resolved for the negotiation of treaties between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and Australian governments. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the legal, political, institutional, and other factors behind successful treaty-making in the comparative states of Canada and New Zealand and the legal capacity of Australian governments to engage in treaty-making. Expected outcomes of this project include the development of uniquely innovative and flexible ‘made in Australia’ models of treaty-making that are constitutionally viable. This should provide significant benefits, such as improving the likelihood of successful treaty processes.
