epa10875437 Indigenous people celebrate the favorable vote during a broadcast of the 'Temporal Framework' trial on a screen installed in front of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Brasilia, Brazil, 21 September 2023. The Supreme Court of Brazil on 21 September reached a majority of votes necessary to recognize the right of Indigenous people to lands they historically occupied, rejected by large rural businessmen and far-right political groups. With three votes still missing, six of the eleven magistrates have already spoken out against the so-called 'temporary framework' (Marco Temporal, or time limit) legal thesis, which proposes limiting these rights to the lands that Indigenous people occupied on 05 October 1988, when the current Brazilian Constitution was promulgated.
