Abstract
This research work reconceptualizes the genocide of indigenous peoples by unraveling its cultural dimensions. Extractive and similar operations gradually deteriorate the land and the environment, exerting severe impacts on territorial rights, eventually leading to their physical and cultural annihilation. The article addresses the crime of genocide in both its physical and cultural dimensions, demanding its integration into IHRL and criminal law. Recent ethnographic research in Ecuador demonstrates how indigenous peoples are gradually exposed to genocidal policies despite strong legal frameworks. Said rights materialize in the form of prior consultation, territorial rights, prohibition of forced relocation, and maintenance of organizational and decision-making procedures.
