RIGHTS OF THE SAN COMMUNITY

On 10th December 2024, International Human Rights Day, the burial of Pitseng Gaoberekwe in Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) will highlight the San community's long-standing struggle for recognition and justice.

We discuss how this burial honors the rights of the San community. The conversation will focus on the importance of fully engaging them in transparent consultations to ensure their voices shape policies affecting them. It will also address the need to safeguard their rights to ancestral lands, cultural heritage and self-determination in line with international human rights standards to build trust and demonstrate a genuine commitment to justice and equality for the San people.
