"Landmark Victory: Brazil's Supreme Court Upholds Indigenous Rights in Land Claim Case"

Brazil's Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Indigenous rights by striking down the "marco temporal" argument, which would have required Indigenous groups to prove their presence on ancestral lands in 1988. The decision is seen as a victory for Indigenous peoples and human rights organizations, who argued that the policy could lead to the theft of Indigenous lands. The ruling will have significant implications as Brazil's Senate considers legislation to limit new Indigenous reservations, with support from the agriculture lobby.
