Genocide of indigenous peoples in Venezuela

Since 2003, the Venezuelan State considers the treatment of Latin American indigenous peoples during the Spanish colonization as "genocide".[1]

In 2006 the Brazilian justice called the Haximu massacre against 16 inhabitants Yanomami on the Brazil-Venezuela border a "genocide", the only legal case in both countries whose verdict has been named with that term.[2]
