This week ICR Director Anders Oskal is attending the Senior Arctic Officials meeting of the Arctic Council, being held in Svolvaer, in the Lofoten Islands. Norway is currently Chair of the Arctic Council. Oskal is attending on behalf of the Association of World Reindeer Herders, which has observer status to the Council. Svein Mathiesen attended a doctoral defence at the University of Tromso by Oyvind Ravna, entitled "Rettsutgreiing og bruksordning i reindriftsområder. En undersøkelse av om beitebruk i reindriftsområder kan gjøres mer tjenlig ved bruk av jordskiftelovgivningens virkemidler." This story was also covered in NRK Sami Radio. His dissertation looks at land rights and land use in reindeer husbandry areas with a focus on the Sami region in Norway. Ravna argues for a specific reindeer husbandry court that would have the same level as the land consolidation court in Norway.
In an interview with NRK Ravna stated – Nå er det jo slik at denne lovgivningen ikke omfatter interne forhold i reindrifta, og der mener jeg det største potensialet ligger, at man får tilsvarende domstoler som kan håndtere både konflikter, avklare rettsforhold og gi regler for beitebruk intert i reindrifta, sier Ravna, som argumenterer for en egen reindriftsdomstol på samme nivå som jordskifteretten.
