Hey everyone, I have a legal assessment on Indigenous peoples and would really value any feedback you have regarding my thesis statements. I'm aiming to have clear, strong, conceptual opening sentences and would really value an outside opinion on where I could improve. Thank you in advance

Evaluate the effectiveness of legal and non-legal measures in protecting the intellectual property rights of Indigenous peoples [25 marks]Essay ThesisLegal and non-legal measures are moderately effective in protecting the intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples by working interchangeably to ensure maximum protection. However, their effectiveness is limited as it fails to fully reconcile the historical and continued disregard for indigenous intellectual property rights.
International ConventionsInternational documents are considerably effective by providing an international standard for state compliance, ensuring the uniform protection of Indigenous intellectual property rights.
Domestic LegislationDomestic legislation is relatively effective as they provide a legal avenue to protect indigenous property rights, however state sovereignty often diminished the extent to which legislation protects intellectual property rights.
NGOsWhere legal measures fail to protect the rights of indigenous peoples, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are effective in pushing for reforms to further protect the intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples
MediaThe media is moderately effective in protecting intellectual property rights by voicing the often-ignored difficulties of indigenous people, prompting law reform within domestic and international laws.
