Asunción, Agencia IP.- During its visit to the Yakye Axa community, the delegation of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, headed by Judge Rodrigo Mudrovitsch, highlighted the work done by the Paraguayan State that allowed the families to have alternative lands, guaranteed basic services and an access road that they did not have previously.

«Today, we can visit the community on their alternative lands and not on the side of the road where they remained for years,» said the vice president of the IHD Court, referring to a visit made in 2017, when the condition of the Yakye Axa families was very precarious.

«In 2017, the situation had not changed since the ruling was issued, as its members continued to live in very precarious and dangerous conditions on a small strip of public land, on the side of the road and not on the alternative lands,» recalled Judge Mudrovitsch.

He added that on that occasion, they had only been able to travel the first of the three access sections to the alternative lands, the first thirteen kilometers of the road.
