Law project for the indigenous people of the Center, North and Pacific shore of Nicaragua

Abstract

This text that we present in the Documents section of our journal is the draft of a law that the organizations of the indigenous people of the Center, North and Pacific regions of Nicaragua have approved and whose main objectives are: the regulation of the right to self-determination and autonomy for these people and their indigenous communities; the reiteration of their personality and juridical capacity as entities of public law, with a sui generis property regime as well as guaranteeing their forms of government, jurisdiction and competence, subject to the Nicaraguan Political Constitution. In addition we have included a presentation of this law project and a communication with respect to it from this same indigenous people.
