ILO Convention 169 on indigenous rights in Brazil

The Federal Constitution of 1988 brought about major changes in the treatment of indigenous peoples, in particular the principle of otherness, embodied in the indigenous person's right to be different, as well as regulating the issue of indigenous lands, which have their own institutes, different from civil law. However, it wasn't always like this: Brazil has undergone various legislative changes up to the present day, and the idea of integrating indigenous peoples into local society has lost strength with these changes, disappearing after the 1988 Federal Constitution. To corroborate the need for greater protection for indigenous peoples, concern for indigenous peoples was sought in the international legal system, which was embodied with the advent of Convention 169 of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
