Abstract
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.
