The general objective of this study is to analyze the decisions issued by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and the Federal Regional Court of the 5th Region (TRF) in Brazil between 2019 and 2024, which were based on the right to free, prior, and informed consultation as established in ILO Convention No. 169, providing a diagnosis of the issues involved. The research methodology is both qualitative and quantitative in nature; exploratory and descriptive, involving bibliographic and documentary research. The issues addressed in the analyzed decisions involve environmental, urban planning, and public policy matters. These findings align with the literature on the subject, which emphasizes the importance of the right to consultation and the pursuit of its effective implementation. The ability of indigenous peoples to have control over their own destinies underscores the value of self-determination and the protection of cultural identity
