Graduate school interests

I plan to continue my study in International relations/ global studies because in the 21st century, the world is a constant changing environment, so I want to devote my time to further understand and study the connection of how policies change overtime as new issues occurs constantly being faced in the United Nations. The specific interest I currently have in mind is the issue of ethnic minority and indigenous people as regarding their standing in the international law. Even though there is much studies done about their health knowledge, but not much about where they stand in regard to their sovereignty.
