INDIGENOUS TERRITORIAL ENTITIES IN COLOMBIA:

DECREE LAW 632 OF 2018 AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES IN NON-MUNICIPALIZED AREAS OF THE EASTERN AMAZON. BETWEEN MULTICULTURALISM AND LEGAL COLONIALITY

Abstract

The multiculturalism established in the Political Constitution of Colombia has not been fully developed, which is demonstrated in the lack of incorporation into the organic legislation of territorial ordering of the Indigenous Territorial Entities and the consequent absence of recognition of the autonomous governments of the natives. This has its origin in legal colonialism and in a liberal reading of multiculturalism, which demonstrates the racism present in Colombian society, the State and Law. Despite this, the indigenous peoples advance proposals aimed at their recognition as political-administrative authorities, Decree-Law 632 of 2018 is the most recent and significant initiative that seeks to materialize emancipatory multiculturalism and socio-spatial interculturality in the country.
