The Inter American Court of Human Rights IACHR, traditional lands, identity, political participation, religionAbstract
For almost four decades The Inter American Court of Human Rights (IACHR Court)[i] has analyzed different cases where Indigenous rights have been on the spot. Among the cases analyzed, there are subjects such as minority, traditional lands, identity, political participation, religion. In these years, the IACHR has passed through three different periods with three different visions of these rights. This article explores five different subjects the IACHR has faced by studying their main arguments. A conclusion is presented arguing if the IACHR has become an activist court or not.
