My name is Dr. Smriti Sabbarwal. I have recently completed my Ph.D in International Organization from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), India. The title of my thesis is "United Nations Institutional Mechanisms on Indigenous Peoples: Examining the Role of State and Non-State Actors. Before this, I did my MPhil wherein I looked at the role of World Bank in dealing with the rights of indigenous peoples. I have a double post graduation degree- one in Political Science and one in Human Rights and Duties Education. I was awarded a Gold Medal in Human Rights by Jamia Millia Islamia in 2012. I have presented many academic papers in national as well as international conferences, broadly related to the theme of indigenous peoples. My paper titled 'Indigenous Peoples as Victims of State Repression: A Study of the Role of Non-Governmental Organizations' was awarded the Best Paper at the South Asian Society of Criminology and Victimology Conference in 2016. Recently, I have presented an academic paper titled 'Universal Periodic Review and Indigenous Peoples: Achievements and Challenges' at the International Studies Conference (ISA), San Francisco, April 2018. I have two publications to my credit. One of my papers titled 'Climate Change and Role of Non-State Actors: The Case of the Indigenous Peoples' was published in a book titled 'Climate Change and Developing Countries', published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing, United Kingdom. Another paper titled 'Indigenous Peoples' Concerns for Environment: Examining the Role of Non-Governmental Organizations' was published in Fourth World Journal, Vol 15, No 2.
