genocide

President Bolsonaro wants to open up the Amazon rainforest for large-scale agribusiness and mining, and 'integrate' uncontacted indigenous peoples into mainstream society.

Uncontacted tribes can be wiped out by diseases like influenza and measles to which they have no resistance. 

Top military commanders in Myanmar should be investigated and prosecuted for the “gravest” crimes against civilians under international law, including genocide, say United Nations-appointed investigators.

Twenty-nine indigenous organisations from across South America have come together in Brazil to condemn governments for failing to protect the lives and lands of uncontacted tribes – a situation they say is tantamount to genocide.
