Toward self-determined reparative justice in Brazil: Indigenous leadership confronting human rights violations
View through CrossRef
Since the publication of the National Truth Commission (CNV) final report in 2014, Brazil has made significant progress in incorporating indigenous peoples into transitional justice mechanisms. In 2024, two key milestones marked this process: the progress toward establishing the National Indigenous Truth Commission (CNIV) and the fourth session of the Amnesty Commission, which for the first time considered and approved collective reparation requests for Indigenous peoples affected by the military dictatorship. These events represent a significant shift in addressing reparations by recognising the collective nature of the harms suffered. This study suggests that these developments pave the way for a justice model that incorporates Indigenous epistemologies, ensuring self-determination in the reparation process. Preliminary findings indicate that these steps set a crucial precedent for more inclusive and collective justice in Brazil.
Resumen: Hacia una justicia reparadora autodeterminada en Brasil: Liderazgo indígena frente a las violaciones de los derechos humanos
Desde la publicación del informe final de la Comisión Nacional de la Verdad (CNV) en 2014, Brasil ha logrado avances significativos en la incorporación de los pueblos indígenas a los mecanismos de justicia transicional. En 2024, dos hitos clave marcaron este proceso: los avances hacia el establecimiento de la Comisión Nacional de la Verdad Indígena (CNIV) y la cuarta sesión de la Comisión de Amnistía, que por primera vez consideró y aprobó solicitudes de reparación colectiva para los pueblos indígenas afectados por la dictadura militar. Estos acontecimientos representan un cambio significativo en el tratamiento de las reparaciones, al reconocer la naturaleza colectiva de los daños sufridos. Este estudio sugiere que estos avances allanan el camino para un modelo de justicia que incorpore las epistemologías indígenas, garantizando la autodeterminación en el proceso de reparación. Las conclusiones preliminares indican que estas medidas sientan un precedente crucial para una justicia más inclusiva y colectiva en Brasil.
