Os instrumentos internacionais de proteção aos direitos indígenas e o caso Mapuche no Chile

Abstract

Conflicts between indigenous peoples and nation-states have become a common phenomenon in practically all regions of the world and, specifically, in Latin American countries. Related, above all, to the control and use of the territory and its natural resources. The Mapuche people in Chile are one of the oldest and most active ethnic groups in the country and southern Argentina. During the period of colonization by the Spaniards, the Mapuche population remained autonomous in this process of domination, defeating the colonizers for many years, being independent and sovereign over their territories and nation. With the nascent Chilean Republic, it suffered strong and massive repression to incorporate it into the territory of the State. In this work, we analyze the influence of international instruments in the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, through International Organizations, mainly the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2008). Extending to the case of the Mapuche population in a new government model of President Gabriel Boric in Chile.
