Quilombola Communities of Alcântara v. Brazil

This case is about the rights of the Afro-descendant Quilombola communities located in North-East Brazil, who were displaced when Brazil built the “Alcântara Launch Center.” Eventually, Brazil admitted partial responsibility, and an unusually split Court found the State in violation of several articles of the American Convention, including Article 26.
