Chosen justice question particularly relevant for the regulatory/policy framework (in the light of JUSTNORTH research, aimed at supporting future justice-focused research on Arctic governance):

General: What is the idealized vision of the future state that the framework is to achieve (e.g. as expressed in introduction to legal acts)?

Multilevel perspective: How different levels of governance interact to produce justice?

Procedural justice: What are the opportunities for participation in decision-making and who is envisaged as a stakeholder?

Inclusion and participation: Are all relevant stakeholders/rightsholders included in the governance/decision-making process and are there any important stakeholders who are excluded? 

Spatial Justice: What are the geographical scales involved/affected by the instrument?

Spatial Justice: How does the instrument affect spatial relationships? What harms or benefits might arise from the changes in spatial relationships?

Landscape justice: Who owns this landscape? Who is excluded from the landscape and its governance?

Climate justice: How is the implementation of a law/policy affected by climate changes?

Intergenerational justice: What implications does the framework have for future generations?

Rights: How are rights accounted for? Who decides or officially acknowledges a given right or
set of rights?
