Worldwide, indigenous peoples are mobilising against the neoliberalisation of nature, demonstrating radically different ways of knowing, being and living. To what extent can domestic and international human rights law come to grips with plurilegal water realities? This roundtable introduces a new research project engaging with pressing questions concerning the relationship between humans and “nature”. Can we develop new ways of thinking about water beyond the modern divides of nature/culture, and reconceptualising human rights?
