This study aims to examine the Human Right to Development in the current Brazilian context, unfolding it from the perspective of national and local interests. Although internationally recognized such a right - that reflects the dialogue between development and human rights - finds still many challenges on its configuration and implementation. The approach of the Right to Development is focused in the context of indigenous peoples. To this end, the study relies on theories of intercultural dialogue, which propose the overcoming of the polarization between universalism versus cultural relativism, considering the application of human rights in contexts of cultural diversity. It is added to the discussion elements that show how historical trajectory of indigenous peoples on internacional fora brought them to achieve the status of people in international law (albeit with restrictions) and how they were legally guaranteed the right to exercise selfdetermination and sovereignty over their natural resources, two intrinsic components of the Right to Development. The case of Belo Monte Dam was selected as an illustration that makes it possible to examine how indigenous peoples can exercise the Right to Development, considered a platform-right or a synthesis-right. In this case, the project of generating electricity from water exploitation of an important river (Xingu) for indigenous universe is considered of national interest, leading indigenous peoples to occupy a marginal position in the processes of decision making. It is highlighted the difficulties of the Brazilian state - including the three levels of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary Power - to observe indigenous peoples rights, which together constitute the platform of the Right to Development that is ultimately denied them to perform.
