    Los achuares del Corrientes: el Estado ante su propio paradigma
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010-03-26) Chirif, Alberto
    The paper analyses the events leading to the 2006 uprising of theAchuar people of the Corrientes basin (Loreto), who have sufferedfour decades of contamination due to oil exploitation. It also examinesthe Peruvian State’s and the oil company´s attitudes throughoutthe protest and after signing an agreement aiming to stop contaminationand remedy environmental and social havoc. Materials usedinclude interviews conducted with different stake holders and a widerange of written records, such as political declarations, reports onlocal people´s health´s and remediation work, agreement documentsand letters exchanged between stake holders, as well as historicaland socio economic background information. Findings highlight thestrength of organized indigenous people´s claiming for their rights;the greater commitment to assuming responsibility shown by the oilcompany´s as compared to the Peruvian State; and the weakness ofa political discourse equating development with the extraction ofnatural resources. The main conclusion is that the Peruvian Statedoes not fulfill the paradigm set in the first article of the Constitution:that the defense of the human person and the respect of its dignityare its supreme aim.

    Gobernanza y territorios indígenas. Cambios, permanencias y redefiniciones
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2022) Chirif, Alberto
    This article deals with the social and economic processes that led to creating an institution known as “native community”, formally in 1974 through a specific law. Furthermore, we deal here with the attempts by various administrations to undermine it. We also explain the criteria underpinning traditional indigenous governance and the important role of communities, organized as second level organizations, have played in specific contexts (demands claiming rights’ violations, legal and political proposals, the country’s pacification and ways of dealing with Covid-19). Finally, the article examines the emergence of a new subject of rights, namely “indigenous people”, who are also the bearers of other rights such as the right to an integrated territory and autonomous governance-that are still in the making.
