Description: "This new book structures and comprehensively discusses the treaty rights recognized and affirmed in section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. It reviews negotiations and treaty text, the principles of treaty interpretation, and case law on the treaty relationships, treaty tenure, treaty governance, and the treaty economy. Finally it reviews the principle of constitutional convergence with other parts of the constitution and comments on how to institutionally reconcile treaty rights with the rest of the constitution."--Pub. desc.
