There are, however, signs that profound changes are coming, as the new millennium has seen indigenous peoples, lawyers, non-governmental organizations and religious institutions push for the official repudiation of this doctrine.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the IUCN approved a decisive motion renouncing the &#8220;Discovery Doctrine&#8221; at the World Nature Congress, held in Marseille (France), in 2021. This article places this fact in the context of the socio-political climate and examines its potential to effect legal, educational, and religious reform changes. Although it has certain limitations as a non-binding &#8220;soft law&#8221; instrument, this article argues that Motion 048 nevertheless represents an important step toward correcting the centuries of suffering inflicted by this colonial doctrine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The international legal principle known as the &#8220;Doctrine of Discovery&#8221; has caused immeasurable harm to indigenous peoples throughout&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":118938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[105,115],"tags":[276,236,258],"class_list":["post-118943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-documentation-centre","category-strategical-documents","tag-ethics","tag-indigenous-peoples","tag-worldview","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118943"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":118945,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118943\/revisions\/118945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
