Fundamental rights

The Supreme Federal Court (Stf) declared unconstitutional, by a 9-1 vote, the temporal framework for indigenous land demarcation on Thursday (18), invalidating the thesis that indigenous peoples only have rights to areas occupied until 1988. The ruling, reported by Minister Gilmar Mendes, reinforces the protection of fundamental rights and sets deadlines for completing pending processes. The judgment responds to a law passed by Congress in reaction to a 2023 precedent.
