Indigenous Peoples and their Right to Political Participation

Alexandra Tomaselli

doi:10.5771/9783845268781

Summary

Die UN-Gremien betonen zunehmend die Notwendigkeit, die politische Partizipation von indigenen Völkern zu verbessern. Dieses Buch schlägt ein umfassendes Recht auf politische Partizipation für indigene Völker vor, geht der Frage der Anerkennung im Völkerrecht nach und untersucht seine Anwendung in Bolivien und Chile - zwei Fallstudien in Lateinamerika, die unterschiedlich und dennoch ähnlicher als erwartet sind. Als Hauptquellen für die Anerkennung dieses Recht dienen die wichtigsten Grundlagen des internationalen Rechts, einschließlich der Urteile des Interamerikanischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte. Diese Analyse schließt die nicht (rein) rechtlich verbindlichen Ergebnisse internationaler Organisationen, publizistische Abhandlungen und die wissenschaftliche Literatur anderer Disziplinen (Politikwissenschaften, Soziologie und Anthropologie) mit ein.

Die zwei Fallstudien dieses Buch decken einen Zeitraum von etwa 10 Jahren (2005-2015) ab und beurteilen die nationale Gesetzgebung und Umsetzung sowie die nationale Rechtsprechung.
