Brazil: Remove Miners from Indigenous Amazon Territory

Bolsonaro Policies Fuel Deforestation in Indigenous Lands (São Paulo, April 12, 2021) – Brazilian federal authorities should immediately remove miners who have unlawfully entered the Munduruku Indigenous territory in the Amazon rainforest, Human Rights Watch said today. Munduruku Indigenous people in the Tapajós basin – an epicenter of illegal gold mining in the Amazon rainforest – in southwestern Pará state have reported increasing encroachments upon their lands by armed “wildcat” miners known as “garimpeiros” since March 14, 2021. The Federal Prosecutor’s Office has warned of a potential for violence between local residents and the miners and urged the deployment of the federal police and other authorities to remove the trespassers. But the government has yet to act. The tension has escalated in recent weeks after a group of miners brought equipment to the area.

Brazil: Open Letter by Human Rights Watch to the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI)

Dear President of the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) Marcelo Augusto Xavier, I write on behalf of Human Rights Watch to respectfully urge you to revoke Resolution n° 4/2021, adopted by the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) on January 26, which states, among other provisions, that the recognition of an individual by an ethnic group should be consistent with “a definition based on technical/scientific criteria.”[1]  It is our assessment that the Resolution contravenes international human rights obligations both in the manner in which it was enacted and in its content. Human Rights Watch is an international nongovernmental organization that investigates and reports on human rights abuses around the world. In conducting our research in different countries, we apply international treaties currently in force in this field, and work with governments and civil society to uphold human rights and the rule of law.
