Greenland government
VS
Inuit community advocates
The Greenland government is the self-governing authority of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
Inuit community advocates, including organizations like ICC Greenland, represent the interests of the Inuit people, advocating for Indigenous rights, sustainability, and cultural preservation.
The conflict centers on historical forced contraception practices imposed on Inuit women during the 1960s and 1970s.
An expert commission has examined these practices, but its findings are not final.
The issue is contested, with some viewing the practices as genocide and others disputing that characterization.
Inuit advocates have consistently asserted their rights to self-determination and self-government, as well as their right to their lands, and have called for inclusive consultations with the full participation of Inuit people in matters affecting them.
The stakes include the need for recognition and redress for past harms, as well as the broader relationship between Greenland and Denmark.
The Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples has urged Greenland to promote wide-ranging, inclusive and meaningful consultations with Inuit people, whose traditional livelihoods are directly affected by these issues.
