This Land is for All of We: A Small Rama Community in Bangkukuk, Nicaragua, Speaks Out About the Grand Canal Project
The government of Nicaragua ratified International Labor Organization Convention No. 169 on August 27, 2010. The convention is the only legally binding international instrument that specifically addresses Indigenous Peoples’ rights. Countries that ratified the document have used it as a framework for constitutional and legal reforms to ensure Indigenous Peoples rights are respected. In Guatemala Convention No. 169 was instrumental in the peace accords that ended 30 years of civil war between Indigenous groups and the government.
