Legal Framework of the Demarcation Process of Indigenous Lands in Brazil The land rights of indigenous peoples in Brazil are regulated by Article 231 of the Federal Constitution of 1988. The caput of this Article reads: it is recognized to Indigenous peoples their social organization, their customs, languages, beliefs and traditions and the original rights over lands they traditionally occupy, belonging to the Union to demarcate them, to protect and enforce respect for all their assets. According, to the constitutional concept, demarcating indigenous peoples lands is Union's obligation. The very action and the circumstances of demarcation are established by law and they are demarcated through Administrative means. Therefore, all juridical acts having as their object areas that had been declared to be of Indian occupation were nullified and their juridical effects extinct, regardless of any indemnity. The only possible indemnity was the right for compensation arising, from improvements on the land made in good faith.

Indigenous people: Challenges facing the international community Growing public interest in indigenous people and a long process of international negotiations involving indigenous organizations prompted the international community to proclaim 1993 as the International Year of the World's Indigenous People, and then the period 1995-2004 as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous People, to focus on issues of concern to indigenous people. In addition, 9 August has since 1995 been celebrated as the International Day of the World's Indigenous People. Each of these steps has been important in the struggle for the recognition of the rights of indigenous people. These steps are all the more meaningful with the forthcoming anniversary of a landmark human rights document adopted by the United Nations 50 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration recognizes the inherent dignity of every human being and sets forth in detail the rights to be enjoyed by all "without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status". Within the framework of the World Public Information Campaign, launched by the United Nations in 1988, the Universal Declaration has been translated into more than 40 indigenous languages and widely disseminated among indigenous communities. The United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004) also focuses attention on the importance of human rights education for all, including indigenous people, in view of the problems encountered by indigenous communities.

Brazzil March 2002 Indians Who'll Care for Them? Under ex-President Fernando Collor de Mello the indigenous health care system was decentralized. Since then jurisdiction conflicts began to emerge causing a lot of confusion. The news was subtly announced by the Brazilian media on February 19th. The National Health Foundation (Funasa), the agency in charge of implementing the national indigenous health policy, was officially closed down. The Indigenous Health System and the Federal Agency for Disease Prevention and Control (APEC) were created to replace it. According to Provisional Measure 33, published in the Official Gazette, the Indigenous Health System will be directly linked to the Ministry of Health and inspected by the APEC. The indigenous health care system has been dismantled for the second time. Under the administration of ex-President Fernando Collor de Mello (1990-1992), the indigenous health care system was decentralized. Public policies for health and education, which used to be centralized at Funai, were placed under the responsibility of the ministries of Health and Education. The Ministry of Health delegated health care actions to Funasa, an independent governmental agency operating within the ministerial framework. Funai remained in charge of a health sector and as a result jurisdiction conflicts began to emerge. In the regions, technicians and indigenous people have been trying to contact the two agencies for assistance, causing a lot of confusion.
