Abstract
The general objective of this dissertation is to analyze the connection and application of John
Rawls' theory of justice and the human rights of original peoples, having as its premise the
paradigm decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights - Court-IDH when judging
the Lhaka Honrat case (Nuestra Tierra) vs Argentina. The aforementioned judgment deals for
the first time with the autonomous application of article 26 of the ACHR under the
understanding of OC 23/17, which ensures the economic, social and cultural rights of
indigenous peoples, recognizing, (1) the protection of a healthy environment; (2) the right to
adequate food and the human right to water; (3) fundamental right to cultural identity of
indigenous peoples and (5) common right to participation (consultation) in an interrelationship
with the right to indigenous property. From this perspective, the specific objectives of this
analysis are: a) to enable and apply principles of political justice in structural cases involving
fundamental human rights of indigenous populations; b) build and seek the effective
emancipation of original peoples through the exercise of their full citizenship; c) establish a
dialogue between Courts, especially the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the Federal
Supreme Court; d) encourage an alternative to utilitarianism and the politics of difference when
considering indigenous issues; e) carry out an analysis of justice as equity before the Federal
Supreme Court – STF, especially on Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 5905 – which
has as its agenda the constitutionality of free, prior and informed consultation established by
the influence of ILO Convention 169, ratifying the idea of multilevel constitutionalism. In light
of the massive problems of social inequality and asymmetries of original peoples, especially
due to the lack of participatory citizenship, was it possible to achieve their real emancipation
and development within contemporary democracy, providing the effective fulfillment of human
rights? Procedural justice, which advocates justice as a priority in relation to the good to be
achieved within a society marked by the fact of pluralism, instigates and allows the application
of rationally chosen principles of justice, to give new meaning to the human rights of original
peoples. In this way, In this way, this research has the scope established the theoretical and
practical importance of a theory of justice for the implementation of human rights and
citizenship. Preliminarily, the possibility of applying principles of political justice in the judicial
sphere became evident, especially in the egalitarian construction of John Rawls. To build this
approach, the deductive method was used, starting from the chronology of theories of justice
from Antiquity to John Rawls, analyzing the international and national normative body on the
protection of original populations, arriving at the analysis of the IDH Court's decision in the
case Lhaka Honrat (Nuestra Tierra) vs Argentina and its repercussion on domestic law, using
ILO Convention 169 as an equality mechanism, implementing the participatory citizenship of
original peoples. It should be noted that this research is characterized as bibliographic and
qualitative
