However, it poses significant challenges on the observance of State sovereignty and permanent sovereignty over natural resources. Consequently, tension exists on how the right to self-determination of indigenous peoples can coexist alongside the traditional right to self-determination of States. This paper examines the concept of indigenous peoples right to self-determination. It establishes that despite the definitional vagueness in the right, it represents the emergence of a new rights-based approach for alleviating concerns of indigenous peoples. 14.00 14.30 Akinseye Akinteye (Year 1 PhD Candidate) Supervisors: Prof Tina Hunter and Dr Colin Mackie The Need for Black Benches in Nigeria Focusing on Nigeria, existing research shows that millions of gallons of oil are spilled in Nigeria every year. As a result, the environment and human health have suffered great damage from the impact of oil pollution. A major problem with the Nigerian judicial framework regarding oil spill matters is a lack of access to justice. The judicial structure makes it difficult for victims of environmental pollution to get justice because the courts are located far away from the areas that are most affected by environmental problems. However, other procedural and logistical obstacles affect access to justice in Nigeria. To address these issues, this paper argues the need for designated Black Benches (an Environmental Court model) within the Federal and State High Courts in Nigeria to address oil pollution. This reasoning is informed by many recent happenings, including the increase in the number of oil spill litigations being brought in foreign courts in respect of purely Nigerian matters. Black Benches will likely allow expert judges to handle oil spill cases, enable the use of Court Rules that are specially adapted to suit the peculiarities of oil spill matters, and provide a cheaper, and faster way to resolving oil spill issues.
