This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The Right of Indigenous Self-Determination and the Right to Consultation in the Peruvian Constitutional Tribunal Jurisprudence (2005-2011) by Alvaro Rodrigo Córdova Flores LL.B. University of Lima, 2002 Supervisory Committee Jeremy Webber, Faculty of Law Co-Supervisor Avigail Eisenberg, Department of Political Science Co-Supervisor iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Jeremy Webber, Faculty of Law Co-Supervisor Avigail Eisenberg, Department of Political Science Co-Supervisor The main argument of this study is that the right of Indigenous peoples in Peru to consultation has little practical force and effect, since the Peruvian Constitutional Tribunal is not prepared to base it on a broader right of self-determination. I centre my investigation on the 2005-2011 decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal of Peru regarding the right to consultation. In these decisions, the application of the right to consultation is divorced from a perspective informed by the right of Indigenous self-determination. The main consequence of this divorce is that it obscures the pragmatic and symbolic dimension of the right to Indigenous self-determination, debilitating the practical and symbolic potential of the right to consultation.

Introduction 1.1 CIVICUS is a global alliance of civil society organisations and activists dedicated to strengthening citizen action and civil society around the world. Founded in 1993, we proudly promote marginalised voices, especially from the Global South, and have members in more than 170 countries throughout the world. 1.2 Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos (hereafter APRODEH) is a Peruvian non- governmental organisation committed to the integral defence and the promotion of human rights. Our mission is to contribute to legal and political processes conducive to guaranteeing the actual enjoyment of all rights. Since our founding in 1983, we hae prioritised links with vulnerable and excluded groups. 1.3 In this document, CIVICUS and APRODEH examine the Government of Peru’s compliance with its international human rights obligations to create and maintain a safe and enabling environment for civil society. Specifically, we analyse Peru’s fulfilment of the rights to freedom of association, assembly, and expression and unwarranted restrictions on human rights defenders (HRDs) since its previous UPR examination in November 2012.
