#BizHumanRights: I'm happy to share the text (in Spanish) of the amicus brief that our Human Rights Clinic of the HRREC- U.Ottawa, in partnership with different organizations, filed before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in early September.
This is the first case of the IACtHR focusing on Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation, whose territory is rich in oil. Decision should be released in early 2023.
