Project description
 

Given that the right to prior consultation is of great importance to indigenous peoples, as it allows them to express themselves, build consensus and give their consent, and due to the absence of in-depth studies on its application, this investigation intends to make a qualitative analysis of the issue, focusing on cases where prior consultation processes took place when granting oil concessions in the Amazon territories of three Andean countries, namely Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru.
