Recursos, mecanismos y reparaciones a la comunidad indígena Wayuu de Tamaquito II a la luz del Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos

Abstract

One of the biggest coal-bearing extractions in the world is developed in Colombia: El Cerrejón. In this regard, the human rights of the indigenous people have been violated, since they have settled in territories rich in natural resources; verbigratia, the Wayuu indigenous community of Tamaquito II located in the department of la Guajira. The IACHR has developed a framework of protection and repair of the human rights of indigenous peoples in contexts of exploration, exploitation and development, urging the Colombian state to adopt these standards. Nonetheless, the existence of these standards does not prevent the violation of the HR of indigenous peoples, due to lack of action by the Colombian State with the respectful procedure.
