Summary: |
This article values indigenous cultural identity as an important factor for
the development of the social state of law in Colombia. In doing so, three
arguments are presented: 1. the consideration of cultural diversity can be a
paramount component to establish and adopt new meanings and dynamics
around human rights. 2. Despite the constitutional rule of law in relation to
the legal protection of indigenous cultural identity different social practices
can still threaten the effective guarantee of this human right in Colombia.
3. A better democratization process of the constitutional right of indigenous
cultural identity may be better developed taking into account wider multicultural
perspectives in which historical and contemporaneous groups of Colombian
society can be heard and fully included. The article is divided in three parts.
The first one is focused on the relationship between Human rights and cultural
diversity. The second part analyses the main juridical development of the
Colombian Constitutional Court in favour of cultural identity protection.
This section also contrasts certain social practices that may cause deleterious
effects to the purposes of these juridical developments. On the third part it
is discussed how a multicultural perspective may enhance democratization
processes of the indigenous cultural identity in Colombia. |
