The indigenous and Fourth World communities in multiple Asian regions are again making noises. As the incoming ALSA president, I wish to offer a new perspective called the Fourth World Approaches to International Law (FWAIL) to understand the nature of pandemic indigenous people’s struggles for independence in Asia, to examine sociopolitical and historical roots of regional conflicts around many Asian peripheries, and to explore the contour of the social and political path for the recognition of indigenous rights for political sovereignty and independence under international law. Further, FWAIL is offered to give an active voice to indigenous people who have been victimized by predatory policies of the state system and international law, and to build a culture of collective resistance and opposition to hegemonic Western domination in the region. FWAIL also provides the framework to seek self-determination through activism, organizing, and negotiations with the state, in addition to the use of domestic law and international law. Furthermore, FWAIL is offered to give an alternative vision for the preservation of biodiversity and natural environment necessary for the survival of the human race in the coming generations in Asia.

第四世界国际法方法（FWAIL）和亚洲土著人的斗争和寻求在国际法下的承认

亚洲多个地区的土著和第四世界社区再次发出声音。作为即将上任的 ALSA 主席，我希望提供一个名为“第四世界国际法方法”（FWAIL）的新视角，以了解大流行的土著人民在亚洲争取独立的斗争的性质，审视许多亚洲地区冲突的社会政治和历史根源周边地区，并探索在国际法下承认土著人民政治主权和独立权利的社会和政治道路轮廓。此外，FWAIL 旨在为受到国家制度和国际法掠夺性政策伤害的土著人民发出积极的声音，并在该地区建立集体抵抗和反对西方霸权统治的文化。除了使用国内法和国际法之外，FWAIL 还提供了通过行动、组织和与国家谈判来寻求自决的框架。此外，FWAIL 旨在为保护亚洲后代人类生存所必需的生物多样性和自然环境提供另一种愿景。
