Key insights

This occurs amidst processes of land dispossession of Garifuna peoples intended to benefit foreign capital, despite the land being part of a community title.
- The Lenca people of Río Blanco are in a state of defenselessness due to the presence of armed men and ongoing threats against territorial defenders, as reported by the Consejo Cívico de Organizaciones Populares e Indígenas de Honduras (COPINH).
- The document asserts that the right to land is a necessary condition for a dignified life and the guarantee of associated rights, specifically the right to water and a healthy environment.
