Cultural Survival joins in calls for action to implement recommendations of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission
On June 16, 2021, the Supreme Court of Belize ruled in favor of Maya land rights, upholding the community of Jalacte’s right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) on their customary lands. The court issued a decision in the case, Jalacte Village vs. the Attorney General, ruling that the government breached the Maya Peoples’ constitutional rights, obligating the government of Belize to return the lands that had been taken without the community’s consent and ordering compensation of the equivalent of $3.12 million USD.
Un refugiado es una persona que se encuentra fuera del país de donde es originario, o bien donde reside habitualmente, debido a un temor fundamentado de persecución por razones de etnia, religión, otro. De cara a que se acerca el 20 de junio, día en que Naciones Unidas conmemora el día del refugiado, en Cultural Survival nos dimos la tarea de investigar sobre el tema, entrevistamos a varias personas Indígenas que han experimentado dicha situación, y hemos preparado un reporte especial para usted.

In this text in which I make use of a third-person journalistic voice, of denunciation, of a witness, I also change to a first plural voice, because it is not only a people there in another country that is being attacked but my people, my, our relatives and partners in defending human rights, the rights of Indigenous Peoples and partners in protecting the forest.
