Abstract

CRUZ RUEDA, Elisa. Mecanismos de consulta a los pueblos indígenas en el marco del convenio 169 de la OIT: el caso mexicano. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2008, vol.3, n.5, pp.74-111. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2008.5.208.

Understanding has not been developed to date regarding the right to consultation as a citizen right that implies prior and informed consent by citizens regarding issues affecting them, and in particular as a collective right of indigenous peoples, including the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The intention of this document is to argue the need for recognition of this right and to discuss how territorial rights of indigenous peoples have been affected in practice due to lack of consultation. In this same sense, an analysis is presented with references to the International Labor Organization (ILO) Agreement 169 on indigenous and tribal peoples in independent countries, and to Mexico’s Constitution. Finally, a proposal is presented regarding consultation of indigenous peoples.

Keywords : Rights; indigenous peoples; legal tools; shared responsibility; intercultural dialogue.
