This book delves into the reasons behind and the consequences of
the implementation gap regarding the right to prior consultation
and the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of Indigenous
Peoples in Latin America. In recent years, the economic and
political projects of Latin American States have become
increasingly dependent on the extractive industries. This has
resulted in conflicts when governments and international firms have
made considerable investments in those lands that have been
traditionally inhabited and used by Indigenous Peoples, who seek to
defend their rights against exploitative practices. After decades
of intense mobilisation, important gains have been made at
international level regarding the opportunity for Indigenous
Peoples to have a say on these matters. Notwithstanding this, the
right to prior consultation and the FPIC of Indigenous Peoples on
the ground are far from being fully applied and guaranteed. And,
even when prior consultation processes are carried out, the
outcomes remain uncertain. This volume rigorously investigates the
causes of this implementation gap and its consequences for the
protection of Indigenous Peoples' rights, lands, identities and
ways of life in the Latin American region.
