From theory to practice: evaluating consultation on hydrocarbon projects in Peru from the perspective of international human rights standards
Abstract
This article analyses the minutes of the prior consultation processes on hydrocarbon projects, with the aim of determining whether the Peruvian State complied with international human rights standards or, on the contrary, whether the right to prior consultation was reduced to an informative process that legitimized the Peruvian State to proceed with the exploration or exploitation of hydrocarbons in indigenous territories. The minutes belong to the Internal Evaluation and Dialogue stages of the consultation processes. The Internal Evaluation Minutes contain reflection and deliberation of the indigenous communities on the proposed measure. The Consultation Minutes describe the complete or partial agreements, reached during the dialogue stage, between representatives of the indigenous communities, who transmit the content of the Internal Evaluation Minutes, and the representatives of the entity that promotes the approval of the measure.
