In recent years, international trade law has gradually expanded the scope of non-trade policy areas covered under trade agreements through ''inclusive trade policies''. This expansion has gone beyond the early focus on ''trade and the environment'' and ''trade and labor''. Within the expansion of trade linkage issues, one emerging topic is the linkage between trade and indigenous peoples. Indigenous issues are part of international human rights law, and the international community has recognized indigenous rights through instruments such as the International Labour Organization's Convention No. 169 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. However, a case involving New Zealand's Māori questioning the government's failure to implement domestic indigenous policies under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) highlights the complex of indigenous issues. That is about ''collective rights'' related to indigenous knowledge and cultural systems and indigenous identity and the indigenous' self-governance over their economic and cultural affairs. This article focuses on the practice of New Zealand on addressing trade and indigenous nexus. It analyzes reports issued by the Waitangi Tribunal, which examines whether the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership effectively and the Treaty of Waitangi exception clause protecting the rights/authorities of New Zealand's indigenous peoples. By exploring the effectiveness of multi-layered exceptions in CPTPP, it discusses the challenges faced by trade agreements in addressing indigenous issues in terms of normative models: the limitations of exception clauses and the constraints of the ''interests-balanced approach'' adopted by existing trade agreements in reconciling trade and non-trade policies. In conclusion, drawing on recent developments such as New Zealand's indigenous proposals in the WTO plurilateral negotiation on e-commerce and modified indigenous provisions in bilateral trade agreements, the article suggests that a ''policy mainstreaming'' model may pave the way for the trade and indigenous nexus in international trade law. |
