Abstract:

This paper addresses how the collective political rights of Indigenous peoples were incorporated into the Chilean New Constitutional Projects of 2022 and 2023. To conduct this analysis, it first examines a concept of collective political rights of peoples, with special emphasis on those held by Indigenous peoples. Among other conceptual inputs, the notions of self-deter-mination and community democracy are considered for this purpose. It then analyzes how these rights are guaranteed by the Constitutions that comprise the New Decolonizing Latin American Constitutionalism (Ecuador in 2008 and Bolivia in 2009), and then compares these experiences with the Chilean proposals. Finally, it concludes that, although the first of these proposals better protected these rights, the second was even more protective than the constitutional regulation currently in force in Chile.

Keywords:

Collective political rights, Self-determination of peoples, Community democracy, New latin american constitutionalism, Chilean constitutional processes.
