6 While TWAIL (and CRT) scholars acknowledge this tendency, they still tend to try to squeeze the round peg of indigenous peoples into the square hole of TWAIL without really examining how indigenous peoples’ origins, advocacy, and goals might be different from those of TWAIL as well as of the post-colonial nation-state. Works such as Rajagopal’s are a limited exception that does not fully acknowledge these differences nor fully clarify the resulting implications for international law and all nation-states, including those of the Third World.
