The object of this study is the State's responsibility for the murders of indigenist Bruno
Pereira and British journalist Dom Phillips, that occurred in Vale do Javari, before the
inter-American system of human rights protection, based on the concepts of necropolitics and
authoritarianism. Jair Bolsonaro's government was marked by anti-indigenous policies and
persecution of indigenous people and other activists who opposed his practices, therefore
questions arose about the possible configuration of a necropolitics in this context, of which
indigenous peoples would be victims, and so would be their allies, and which might have
contributed to the murders of Dom and Bruno. Based on these issues, the research aims to
highlight authoritarianism and necropolitics against indigenous people and indigenists in
Brazil during Jair Bolsonaro's mandate, to then justify his responsibility for the
aforementioned homicides, through a mainly comparative method of explanatory, quantitative
and qualitative research, based on data, bibliographic and documentary sources. As for the
result, there was the presence of authoritarianism and the attempt to erase indigenous peoples
in the government of Jair Bolsonaro, which consisted of an extermination project. Specifically
in relation to Vale do Javari, it was found that an exception zone was created through
abandonment and intentional negligence, with the ignoring of reports about threats, resulting
in the deaths of Dom and Bruno, for which there must be international accountability, given
the several violations of the American Convention on Human Rights.
