This presentation will take place within the context of a class, but is\u00a0open to all UO students, faculty, staff, and the public.<\/p>\n

\"courtlogo_WEB\"<\/a>In the summer of 2014, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights found\u00a0the Chilean State in violation of the rights of eight indigenous\u00a0citizens who were tried and convicted under an anti-terrorism law. Each\u00a0was sentenced between 5 and 10 years in prison with charges of arson and\u00a0attempted arson, events that were classified as terrorist acts, taking\u00a0place between 2001 and 2002.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ruth Vargas Forman, a Chilean doctor in clinical psychology,\u00a0presented psycho-forensic evidence of the traumatic consequences of\u00a0state repression and the impact of the application of the \u201cAnti-Terrorist Law\u201d by the Chilean state against indigenous people. Dr.\u00a0Vargas Forman worked in Chile documenting the consequences of the state\u00a0violence and imprisonment against the Mapuche leaders and their\u00a0communities. She presented affidavits at the Inter-American Court of\u00a0Human Rights on behalf of the Center for Justice and International Law\u00a0(CEJIL) and for the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH), the\u00a0legal representatives of the indigenous leaders.<\/p>\n

The verdict of the Inter-American Court, released on July 30th of 2014,\u00a0is the first condemnation of the Chilean government regarding\u00a0discrimination against members of the Mapuche People and this is the\u00a0first world level precedent regarding the disproportionate application\u00a0of antiterrorist laws specifically targeting indigenous rights claims.<\/p>\n

The psychological evidence submitted in this case had a great impact in\u00a0the determination of the verdict and on the restitution decision as\u00a0evidence the ruling of the Court. The application of psychological\u00a0knowledge in assessing and documenting experiences of ethnic-minorities\u00a0within the national and international justice systems is especially\u00a0relevant. Indigenous people around the world are confronting the\u00a0criminalization of their claims when protecting their rights to their\u00a0culture and land. This verdict exposes the prejudice by state\u00a0institutions when the demands for indigenous rights are criminalized\u00a0with a special law that does not meet the international standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
