Dear President of the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) Marcelo Augusto Xavier,
I write on behalf of Human Rights Watch to respectfully urge you to revoke Resolution n° 4/2021, adopted by the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) on January 26, which states, among other provisions, that the recognition of an individual by an ethnic group should be consistent with “a definition based on technical/scientific criteria.”[1] It is our assessment that the Resolution contravenes international human rights obligations both in the manner in which it was enacted and in its content.
Human Rights Watch is an international nongovernmental organization that investigates and reports on human rights abuses around the world. In conducting our research in different countries, we apply international treaties currently in force in this field, and work with governments and civil society to uphold human rights and the rule of law.
