Conflictos entre la Minería y los Derechos Territoriales de los Pueblos Indígenas en la Amazonía Colombo-Brasileña: un Análisis Resolutivo desde la Perspectiva de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)

Abstract

There is a historical tension between the Indigenous peoples who inhabit the Colombian-Brazilian Amazon and the legal and illegal mining practices that have been carried out in this territory for centuries. In this regard, it is necessary, on the one hand, to identify how the territorial rights of these populations are configured and what their relationship with mining has been up to now. On the other hand, to decisively analyze this conflictive relationship, taking into account the regional and global panorama. In this sense, how do the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agreed upon in 2015 by more than 190 countries around the world, contribute to resolving this conflict? This article proposes an analysis of the approach taken by some of the SDGs regarding territorial conflicts between Indigenous peoples of the Colombian-Brazilian Amazon and mining-related activities. This is done with the aim of proposing possible courses of action that contribute to fostering a balance between environmental protection, cultural conservation, and economic development.
