El ‘modelo extractivista’ y los derechos de los pueblos indígenas a los recursos naturales en la Argentina de hoy

In Argentina indigenous peoples enjoy specific constitutional rights at federal (art. 75, para. 17 Federal Const.) and provincial level; the ILO Convention 169, other universal human rights instruments and the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People are currently in force. In the last ten years, however, the government has applied heavy extractivist policies with serious consequences for indigenous people, farmers (campesinos), the environment and the society in general.
