Claim: Rincón de Artigas is a territory of Brazil (Rincón de Artigas, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-03-09): The first quarter of the nineteenth century was shaped by struggles between Portugal and Spain over control of the region. In 1801, Portugal agreed to exchange Colônia do Sacramento for the Sete Povos das Missões (or the Misiones Orientales). After the British invasions of Buenos Aires and Montevideo in 1806 and 1807 and the 1808 arrival of the Portuguese Court in Brazil, the Portuguese government decided to take back the left bank of the Río de la Plata just as independence movements in the region were arising – the result being the independence of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, led by Buenos Aires. In 1815 Montevideo was part of the territory controlled by the Argentine general Artigas, but in 1816 it passed over to Portugal again and was dubbed the Cisplatine Province. From then on, the area would be at the heart of struggles against Argentina’s presence. In 1825, in what would be called the Cisplatine War, Uruguay began the process of breaking away from Brazil – by, among other things, passing a law that put an end to the slave trade and decreeing that slaves’ wombs were free.

Evidence (2021-09-06): Next Time in Brazil - Hitchhike even more, but this time while speaking some (Brazilian) Portuguese. Last time, that was really the bottleneck for my experiences - As a cheese and bread lover, I’ll certainly stuff my face with pão de queijo in Minas Gerais - Visit the capital Brasília; you might know I’m quite interested in planned cities (the good AND the bad) even though they’re usually not very walkable - Travel off to some more remote regions. Above all, I’ve always wanted to go to Acre (Cruzeiro do Sul). Beyond those, I’m looking at Extremo Norte do Tocantins, the Marco Zero monument (i.e. equator) in Macapá (and Zerão), São Luis island, Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago, Ilha de Tinharé (car free island), Abrolhos Archipelago, Trindade and Martin Vaz, Ilhabela, Ilha do Mel, São Miguel do Oeste, Santa Catarina island, Ilha de Sao Francisco, Mostardas, Rincón de Artigas/Ilha Brasileira (I’ve been to Bella Union in Uruguay), and Rondônia panhandle - Kayak (or cruise again) on the Amazon river. I want to visit multiple sections of this long-ass river. So that includes the delta with the amazing tidal bore (pororoca).

Evidence (2024-09-01): El tratado establecía, además, excepciones al uti possidetis, en virtud de que ciertos propietarios brasileños en la región fronteriza tenían interés en continuar bajo soberanía brasileña, a pesar de quedar en territorio uruguayo. Se determinaron, por lo tanto, tres zonas dentro del territorio uruguayo que quedarán bajo soberanía brasileña: el Rincón de Artigas, el Rincón de Santa Victoria, y el Trapecio de Bagé. También quedaron bajo soberanía brasileña las islas ubicadas en la desembocadura del río Cuareim, incluida la isla Brasilera, la cual Uruguay objetó en 1928 que geográficamente no se encontraría en la desembocadura, sino que en el río Uruguay, y por lo tanto no debía ser brasileña. También se estableció la exclusiva navegación por parte de Brasil de la laguna Merín y el río Yaguarón y se cedió al Brasil una zona de media legua en una de las márgenes del río Cebollatí, a los efectos de la construcción de un puerto. [...] Rincón de Artigas [editar]El Rincón de Artigas es un territorio de 237 km² ubicado al norte de Uruguay y al sur del Brasil, dentro del Municipio de Santana do Livramento en el Estado de Río Grande del Sur. Uruguay considera que por un error en la demarcación del límite entre ambos países en 1856 ese territorio pasó en posesión brasileña en 1861, por lo que desde 1934 ha solicitado al Brasil la revisión de la demarcación fronteriza allí. Desde 1974 los mapas uruguayos señalan este territorio como "límite contestado" y consideran que debe pertenecer al departamento de Artigas.

Evidence (2007-05-15): In 1811, José Gervasio Artigas, who became Uruguay's national hero, launched a successful revolt against Spain, defeating them on May 18. The Portuguese forces, thanks to their numerical and material superiority, occupied Montevideo on January 20, 1817, and finally after a struggle for three years in the countryside, defeated Artigas. In 1821, the Provincia Oriental del Río de la Plata (present-day Uruguay), was annexed by Brazil. [...] Held on June 19, Natalicio de Artigas celebrates and commemorates the life of the father of Uruguayan independence, Jose Gervasio Artigas. It’s a great day to be in Uruguay, with pride and nationalism spilling out on to the streets of every city, town, and village in the country. Parades, street festivals, dancing, and music provide a truly exhilarating patriotic experience.

Evidence (2018-04-04): - Brazil – Uruguay: El Rincón de Artigas is a territory in the shape of a triangle located in the south of Brazil and which Uruguay argues forms part of the northern department of Artigas. The extension of the land is 237 km2. The Uruguayans maintain that due to an error of delimitation in the 19th century, the territory remained in the hands of Brazil; however, the claim does not have a legal process, so Brazil does not recognize Uruguay’s claims.

Evidence (2022-01-28): In the 1810s, some of the elites of the territory located on the eastern bank of the Uruguay River joined the uprising that had begun in Buenos Aires. This support for the Buenos Aires junta—the outcome of demands for the expansion of jurisdiction and greater autonomy—divided the territory between the administration of Montevideo (until 1814 in the hands of Españolistas) and a revolutionary group. In this context, a radical popular revolutionary project was produced under the leadership of José Artigas (1764–1850). This sought a federal union with other provinces along the Uruguay River and became known as the System of Free Peoples. It encountered fierce resistance from the authorities in Buenos Aires. The radicalization of certain postures among the "Orientales" (as the people in what is now Uruguay were called) was rejected by the Creole elites, who abandoned the Artiguista group and imposed restraints on the social revolution. Added to this were the occupation of the territory by Luso-Brazilian forces (who had strong local support) and the transformation of the Oriental Province into the Cisplatin Province, since 1821 part of the Portuguese Empire.
Claim: Vila Albornoz is a territory of Uruguay (Vila Albornoz, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-03-09): Vila Thomaz Albornoz is a village in the border region between Brazil and Uruguay claimed by both countries. It is located adjacent to Villa Masoller in Uruguay and on international maps it appears as a territory under discussion. The contested region is located in what was called Rincão de Artigas, which has 22,000 hectares and has been litigated since 1934. Vila Albornoz was installed in 1985, on land ceded by rancher Thomaz Albornoz, to mark the Brazilian presence in the area.

Evidence (2024-08-30): Vila Thomaz Albornoz é uma povoação na região de fronteira entre Brasil e Uruguai reivindicada por ambos os países. É situada em posição contígua à Vila Masoller no Uruguai e nos mapas internacionais aparece como um território em discussão. A região contestada situa-se no que era chamado Rincão de Artigas, que tem 22 mil hectares, sendo litigado desde 1934. A vila Albornoz foi instalada em 1985, em terras cedidas pelo estancieiro Thomaz Albornoz, para marcar a presença brasileira na área.
Claim: Vila Albornoz is a territory of Uruguay (Vila Albornoz, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-12-15): Em 1984, a extensão litigiosa foi reclamada novamente pelo governo uruguaio. Em consequência, Figueiredo criou a vila Albornoz — uma espécie de demarcação de território. Até então, só existiam fazendas do lado brasileiro. "Da noite para o dia, vieram helicópteros militares e construíram uma caixa d’água, um centro comunitário e uma escola", dizem os moradores mais antigos do sul da fronteira. [...] Segundo Dona Marta, a vila Albornoz tem 126 moradores, aparatados por uma escola e alguns poucos professores vindos de Livramento. Os encarregados da educação só chegam por lá quando se atrevem a cruzar a estrada de terra que acompanha a fronteira. Demoram mais de quatro horas para andar oitenta quilômetros. Por isso, quando vão a Albornoz ficam por cerca de dez dias e então voltam para a cidade. Bombeiros, médicos e policiais também têm de realizar o mesmo trajeto, o que deixa os brasileiros da região ilhados em terra firme. Os servidores do posto de saúde uruguaio nem perguntam a nacionalidade do enfermo que busca assistência. [...] Os terrenos na vila Albornoz são, até hoje, dizem os moradores, cedidos gratuitamente pelo governo a quem quiser ocupá-los. Entretanto, a demarcação de território pretendida em 1985 pelos militares não teve sucesso: atualmente, moram mais uruguaios do que brasileiros em Albornoz.

Evidence (2023-06-28): Uruguay is a country located on the southeastern coast of South America. It is geographically positioned in the Southern and Western hemispheres of the Earth; being the only South American nation to be situated entirely south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Uruguay is bordered by Argentina to the west and southwest; by Brazil to the north and east; by the Rio de la Plata to the south and by the South Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.

Evidence (2024-05-02): Brazil and Uruguay: neighboring country expressed interest in recovering territories that it considers its own due to historical rights; Locations include the Gaucho town of Tomás Albornoz and a small river island at the mouth of the Quaraí River Uruguay claims ownership of Brazilian territories, including the town of Tomás Albornoz and Ilha Brasileira, based on divergent interpretations of historical treaties with Brazil. The dispute, confined until now to diplomatic debates, highlights border and sovereignty issues between the two countries. [...] Located within the limits of the municipality of Santana do Livramento, the village of Tomás Albornoz has just 100 inhabitants. The region, despite being peaceful and culturally integrated, is marked on Google Maps by dotted lines, indicating a contested status between Brazil and Uruguay. Despite being small and isolated, the presence of the Brazilian state is symbolized only by a public school, while other essential services are provided by Uruguay.

Evidence (2021-05-21): Even if Thomaz Albornoz village is not valuable to Brazil and because Uruguay cannot ignore the non-compliance with international norms, it is unlikely that either side will deliberately decide to yield ground. Nonetheless, especially after looking at other existing territorial contestations, one could say that the Brazil-Uruguay disagreement does not constitute a de facto territorial dispute. The normative justification introduced by Fosberg could only have been applied had the dispute been more violent in nature. [vi] [...] [ii] Pinheiro, Ícaro Donatoni.

Desde 1974 los mapas uruguayos señalan este territorio como «límite contestado» y consideran que debe pertenecer al departamento de Artigas. [...] El geógrafo uruguayo Elzear S. Giuffra apoyó lo señalado por Villa Seré, realizando algunas conferencias, consiguiendo que el 10 de agosto de 1934 el Gobierno uruguayo realizara por nota del Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores José Arteaga una comunicación al Gobierno del Brasil solicitándole una determinación científica del curso de agua que en el artículo 3 del Tratado (...) se denominó por Arroyo de la Invernada. Expresando su reserva de la zona entre los hitos N° 941 y 49-I hasta tanto ambos gobiernos en común acuerdo determinen la exacta ubicación del Arroyo de la Invernada. [...] La situación se mantuvo incambiada hasta que se verificó que en la zona reclamada por Uruguay se había establecido una villa, con la autorización de las autoridades brasileñas, denominada "Thomas Albornoz" o "Manuel Filho". En 1985 Uruguay protestó por la construcción de la villa.[3] El 17 de agosto de 1988 el Gobierno uruguayo volvió a enviar una nota al Gobierno del Brasil, que la contestó el 4 de diciembre de 1989, manteniendo su posición de no hacer innovaciones con respecto al límite.[4]

Claim: Vila Albornoz is a territory of Uruguay (Vila Albornoz, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-01): O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender a que território a Vila Albornoz, situada na fronteira entre Brasil e Uruguai, realmente pertence. Utiliza-se o método qualitativo com base no referencial teórico. Conhecida por ser uma fronteira de caráter sui generis, com presença forte de fraternidade e marcantes relações diplomáticas emergidas pela cooperação, a fronteira de Sant’Ana do Livramento (BR) e Rivera (UY) se destaca pela sua relação entre si, sendo chamada popularmente de Fronteira da Paz. Porém, essa paz encontra barreiras com a delimitação das linhas divisórias que norteiam a Vila Albornoz. Observa-se com este artigo que a Vila Albornoz surgiu através da população santanense e o impasse territorial tem como origem histórica de uma relação de desconfiança territorial, de grandes disputas, que atualmente é harmônica. [...] The present study aims to understand to which territory Vila Albornoz, located on the border between Brazil and Uruguay, really belongs. The qualitative method is used based on the theoretical framework. Known for being a sui generis border, with a strong presence of fraternity and remarkable diplomatic relations emerged through cooperation, the border between Sant'Ana do Livramento (BR) and Rivera (UY) stands out for its relationship with each other, being popularly called Frontier of Peace. However, this peace encounters barriers with the delimitation of the dividing lines that guide Vila Albornoz. It is observed with this article that Vila Albornoz emerged through the Santana population and the territorial impasse has the historical origin of a relationship of territorial distrust, of great disputes, which is currently harmonious

Evidence (2018-12-04): Questão da identidade nacional na fronteira Brasil - Uruguai: a influência da mídia televisiva na identidade ncional na Vila Albornoz (BR) e Massoller (UY) [...] The frontier region between Santana do Livramento and Rivera, more specifically Vila Thomaz Albornoz and Massoller constitute a frontier sui generis given their characteristics of conurbation, distance from their great centers and character of disputed territory, although pacific. Adding to this facts the apparent negligence of their centers, the strong presence of the brazilian televison media turned the largest cultural propagation in that area, transforming the national character of these populations. Considering this, came to be a place where is needed the theorical studies of cultural identity, globalized culture, nation and nationalism and the soft power theory, in the impact of the brazilian television media on the resignation of the national identity of these populations by the distance and the actual social-cultural permeability. The methods used for this study are bibliographical research, participant observer, semi-structured screen interviews.
Claim: Ilemi Triangle is a territory of South Sudan (Ilemi Triangle, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-27): The Ilemi Triangle, sometimes called only Ilemi, is a disputed area in East Africa, claimed by both Kenya and South Sudan. Arbitrarily defined, it measures about 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi).[1] The term "Ilemi" may more accurately be transcribed as "Elemi" in the Didinga language, signifying acceptance. This suggest that, in Didinga history, the region became favorable when they arrived, evidenced by the thriving health of the cattle that accepted the local vegetation, indicating a symbiotic relationship between the cattle's well-being and the area. The territory is claimed by South Sudan and Kenya. The territory also borders Ethiopia and, despite use and trespass into the triangle by border tribes from within Ethiopia, the Ethiopian government has not made any official claim on the area, instead agreeing that the land was Sudanese territory in the 1902, 1907, and 1972 treaties.[2][3][4] [...] With the independence of South Sudan in 2011, the Sudanese claim to the Ilemi Triangle was transferred to the new national government in Juba.

Claim: Ilemi Triangle is a territory of South Sudan (Ilemi Triangle, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-03-10): Between South Sudan and Kenya lies a very large area of disputed land, the Ilemi Triangle. 14,000 square kilometres of sparely inhabited terrain that both countries have competing claims on. Border disputes can easily turn into armed conflict. [...] For well over a decade, PAX has accompanied communities, churches and civil society organisation in the borderlands of South Sudan and Kenya to resolve local conflicts and develop a joint future. It is paramount that the statal dispute goes hand in hand with the creation of new perspectives for peaceful development for the people who live in and around the Ilemi Triangle. Their voices are to be heard, their rights and interests assured. The PAX report ‘The Ilemi Triangle, Understanding a pastoralist border area’ offers an up-to-date account of the dynamics around the Ilemi Triangle, including a deep dive into the interests and perspectives of affected communities. It argues why and how their rights and interests are to be considered in order to resolve the Ilemi question conclusively as well as peacefully.
Claim: Ilemi Triangle is a territory of South Sudan (Ilemi Triangle, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2017-09-15): The Ilemi triangle is a territory of about 14,000 square km whose ownership is disputed by the neighbouring countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan and Uganda. The interethnic conflict in the Ilemi triangle is basically between the Turkana of Kenya, Nyang’atom of Ethiopia and Toposa of South Sudan. Issues of limited access to resources such as pasture, water along with boundary issues are critical factors causing the conflict in the Ilemi triangle. The Shalom Center for Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation (SCCRR) has been requested by the communities to assist them in putting in place mechanisms of conflict intervention. As a result, Shalom opted to equip the communities in the affected areas with skills of conflict resolution and relevant peacebuilding techniques.
