| Summary: |
Twenty-five years have passed since the Coalition of Parties for Democracy agreed with the indigenous peoples to recognize their rights in the constitution. For several reasons this promise has not been fulfi lled during the years of the transition to democracy. This paper explains why it is important to recognize the indigenous peoples in the constitution.
Considering the recent developments in the international law of human rights and in the latin american constitutional law, the fundamental elements that must be present in the debate in Chile are discussed: 1) the notion of indigenous people, 2) cultural diversity, 3) right to selfdetermination, 4) indigenous participation, and 5) indigenous territory. In addition, the bill presented in 2007 is critically analyzed, and new proposals and arguments in favor of the constitutional recognition of indigenous peoples are presented. Any reform to be discussed in this matter requires the active participation of indigenous peoples. |
