Summary	This publication reveals that the majority of Southeast Asian countries already have plural legal systems, and to some extent custom is recognised as a source of rights in the legal framework of a number of them. National and international courts have affirmed indigenous peoples customary rights in land. And all these countries have endorsed and ratified key international human rights laws and treaties-- thus, the basis for securing indigenous peoples rights through a revalidation of customary law exists. The study makes clear that legal pluralism is not an arcane field of analysis for academics but lies at the heart of indigenous peoples struggles for the recognition of their rights.
