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".

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.
