Introducción constituyente
La situación actual por la que atraviesa el país da cuenta de temas pendientes, no solo en el ámbito político sino fundamentalmente constitucional.
Son tiempos de constituyente para cambiar una constitución que no llegó a su mayoría de edad. Nuestra carta magna con una cortísima historia de afecciones y desafecciones, hoy es amenazada de ser lanzada al cesto de la basura de la historia. Junto a ella todos los derechos reconocidos, entre otros, los de los pueblos indígenas.

Hacia la complementariedad jurídica
Boris Bernal Mansilla
Este documento que en su contenido busca el debate, se desarrolla desde la interlegalidad e interculturalidad jurídica hasta la construcción de un diálogo verdadero entre matrices civilizatorias en el campo de la administración del sistema judicial1 boliviano.
Desde 2016, luego de una década de pocos avances en la titulación de comunidades nativas (CCNN), varios proyectos de la cooperación internacional vienen brindando apoyo para el cumplimiento del compromiso del Estado peruano con los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía. Estos proyectos de cooperación financiera y técnica colaboran con el Ministerio de Agricultura y Riego (MINAGRI), como ente rector, y con las Direcciones Regionales Agrarias (DRA), como entidades ejecutoras.
This guide provides information on how to engage in consultation following the FPIC principles with Indigenous Peoples and local communities before undertaking forestry management activities on the lands they legally or customarily own and/or use. It
• encourages and supports discussion among stakeholders, Indigenous Peoples, and FSC on the recognition of the right to FPIC, and
• provides a framework for the development of generally acceptable guidelines for companies seeking FPIC.
This guide and its practical tools help companies:
• Recognise and respect that Indigenous Peoples have distinct rights and interests
• Understand that through law and/or custom, Indigenous People often have a special relationship to the land, territories and resources
• Utilise forms of engagements that are sensitive to cultural characteristics eg governance structures, interaction and decision making
This guide is directed at governments and companies seeking information on implementing FPIC principles in investment operations to safeguard the land rights of project-affected communities. It describes the key elements of FPIC, details steps that need to take place to ensure compliance with FPIC and lists additional resources that business enterprises can consult for further guidance on how to adhere to the principles of FPIC.
This primer provides guidance for companies who seek to ensure that risks for project-affected communities are minimised, especially for women, who can be more vulnerable than men when it comes to land tenure. It provides step by step requirements to ensure that women as well as men are aware of and benefit from a proposed land transaction. For each step, the primer includes a checklist of questions to help guide the work and a list of resources where more detailed information can be found.
This guidance is primarily directed at Rainforest Alliance auditors and farm or group administrator representatives that follow the Rainforest Alliance criteria. It can also be used more broadly by companies who aim to follow the FPIC principles in their operations. It describes
• the cases where an FPIC process is required; and
• the steps required in the FPIC process, in cases where an FPIC process is necessary.
