Landmark Ruling on Uncontacted Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Strikes at Oil Industry - Inside Climate News

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled that the Ecuadorian government violated the rights of uncontacted Indigenous peoples in the Amazon rainforest, specifically the Tagaeri, Taromenane, and Dugakaeri groups, by allowing oil drilling in their territories.
The court ordered the Ecuadorian government to prevent any future oil operations from impacting uncontacted Indigenous peoples and to comply with a 2023 referendum that halted oil drilling in the region indefinitely.
The court emphasized the need to protect not only physical territories but also the cultural identity, health, and overall environment necessary for the dignified lives of uncontacted peoples.
The ruling marks the first time an international court has addressed the protection of the rights of uncontacted Indigenous peoples, requiring the Ecuadorian government to expand protected areas and prevent outside threats to their lands.
