VOICED : Corte Suprema suspende fallo sobre tierra indigena en Brasil

The Brazilian Supreme Court has suspended a crucial trial that could impact indigenous land rights. Indigenous communities in Brazil face threats due to the lack of demarcation of their territories, with landowners hiring gunmen to oppose their efforts. The court was expected to rule on three cases regarding land ownership norms, particularly in the Amazon. A key issue is the temporal framework thesis, which restricts indigenous land rights to territories occupied as of October 5, 1988. This criterion is contested by indigenous advocates as it limits the rights of nomadic tribes or those displaced before 1988.
