Abstract
GOMEZ-ROJAS, José Fernando. ARGUMENT ANALYSIS OF THE POSITION OF COLOMBIA REGARDING THE UN DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. Int. Law: Rev. Colomb. Derecho Int. [online]. 2010, n.16, pp.143-175. ISSN 1692-8156.
This is the final result of an investigation. This article seeks to analyse the discourse elaborated by the Colombian Government concerning the adoption of the text of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples within the General Assembly, on September 13th, 2007. In doing so, Stephen Edelson Toulmin and Michael Scriven's methods of argument analysis will be proposed, basically stressing on the clarification of some meanings, the (un)stated conclusions, the (un)stated assumptions, and an overall evaluation of the discourse. The main purpose of this document is to analyse the relationship between texts, co-texts, and contexts, and their influence within politics and international law. The analysis of these interactions would help policy-makers and academics gain more room for manoeuvre in regard to problem and priority-setting scenarios.
