What is the case against Peru about?

Peru faces allegations of failing to protect isolated Indigenous peoples in the Amazon, including the Mashco Piro, Yora, and Amahuaca, from threats like logging. Indigenous groups argue that the government has not implemented adequate safeguards for these vulnerable populations.

What do Indigenous organizations want the court to do?

Indigenous organizations are asking the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to hold Peru responsible for its actions and to mandate stronger protections for the Mashco Piro people's territory. They seek to ensure the Mashco Piro can remain isolated and their land fully protected.

What is the history of this case?

Concerns about logging in Mashco Piro territory have been raised since the 1990s. Formal petitions were filed in 2011, and a commission found Peru responsible in 2022. The case was sent to the court in 2024 after Peru did not comply with the commission's recommendations.
