Resist to Exist

Please join the Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights for a panel event featuring Brazilian Indigenous leaders, human rights lawyers, and activists fighting for Mura self determination rights to exist and continue on their lands. The Mura are resisting a mining project on their lands in the Amazon where risks of forced displacement and environmental destruction are high. This ongoing struggle raises complex legal issues at the intersection of Indigenous rights, environmental justice and corporate accountability amid increasing challenges--including climate change, global food insecurity, resource grabbing, rising authoritarianism, and conflict--globally.

Panelists:

Prof. Fernanda Bragato, UFRGS

Quezia Martins Chaves, CIMI

Ana Claudia Dos Santos Mendes, Mura

Filipe Gabriel Da Silva E Silva, Mura

Moderated by:

Prof. Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum, Cardozo
