“…There is no one‐size‐fits‐all governance model; the way constitutions shape relations between the state, the economy, and IP should be context‐sensitive (Broderstad, 2011; Rodríguez, 2021; Urteaga‐Crovetto, 2018). In a context of indigenous communities, cultural differences and conceptions of territoriality and land use (change) add complexity and fuel tensions in the design of policies geared toward indigenous communities (Bauer, 2016).…”

“…In Latin America, conflicts between indigenous lands and energy‐related activities are frequent. Some empirical studies find that PIC is not effective in preventing the expansion of extractive projects in indigenous territories (Urteaga‐Crovetto, 2018; Zaremberg & Wong, 2018). Yet, based on a typology of possible or desired outcomes of PIC (such as preventing industrialized resource extraction on indigenous territories, redistributing economic benefits of resource extraction, and diminishing state repression associated with extractive investment projects), these outcomes are often partially achieved (Zaremberg & Wong, 2018).…”

“…A deeper analysis of the Colombian case reveals the potential to integrate indigenous priorities into investment projects for the exploitation of natural resources, which is crucial to keep global economies within a safe space operating (Rockström et al, 2023). The focus is on the mechanisms of PIC and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), used more in Colombia than in other Latin American countries (Urteaga‐Crovetto, 2018; Zaremberg & Wong, 2018). Although some literature points to the positive outcomes of these mechanisms for reaching sustainable development aligned with indigenous interests, other authors consider them to be ineffective (Guevara Gil & Cabanillas Linares, 2020; Hougaard, 2022; Schilling‐Vacaflor, 2019; Wesche, 2021).…”

This article addresses the protection of indigenous peoples and their natural habitats in Colombia when investment projects are planned or implemented. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of prior informed consultation; and free, prior, and informed consent. The Colombian case is relevant because it is at the vanguard of protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and their territories, and it is home to tough policy choices, balancing indigenous rights, the environment (as a megadiverse country), and the economy (highly dependent on mining exports). From a law and sustainable development perspective, this article analyzes a novel combination of various statistical data sets and case law and includes tests of the outcomes of prior informed consultation processes and their interaction with environmental licensing based on regression analyses. The conclusions point to the scale of the use of the protection mechanisms, the patterns in the behavior of indigenous peoples and in the outcomes of the mechanisms, the need to reinterpret transaction costs, and the crucial role of the constitutional court.

“…On the contrary, communities that achieve the halt of a project never used FPIC. Although some scholars have found cases in Latin America where FPIC has been a dynamizing factor of mobilization (Walter & Urkidi, 2017), and even a most effective way to delay projects than environmental law (Vela et al, 2020), others emphasize the depoliticizing component of FPIC (Urteaga, 2018;Dunlap, 2018;Ramírez, 2019).…”

The development and implementation of the free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) can be understood both as a “romantic” and “tragic” story, using a sharp reflection made by Susan Marks (2012) regarding Human Rights. Following this idea, this essay intends to analyse the main developments of FPIC international human rights in the last three decades (the successful story) and the clear and strong limitations of its use in Latin America (the tragic side to it).Despite the fact that the romantic narrative tells us about a progressive recognition and protection of indigenous rights in international law, especially with instruments such as the ILO Convention 169 (ILO-C169) and the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), these advances have been and are currently deactivated. Through the revision of postcolonial literature and an analysis of relevant research in Latin America, this essay explains how the supposed progress is clearly limited by imbalances in the history of international law itself and in the territorial governance system that is configured in large-scale extractive projects, where FPIC is applied or not. In this manner, despite apparently overcoming colonial times against indigenous peoples, the permanent structure of neo-colonization of indigenous territory prevails for an ever-growing global market.

La paradoja denominada «maldición de los recursos naturales» ha demostrado que las economías basadas en actividades extractivas no contribuyen positivamente a la erradicación de la pobreza, la discriminación y las desigualdades. Por el contrario, estos problemas parecen empeorar, incrementando los niveles de corrupción, desigualdad y violencia. Mientras que los defensores de estas actividades enfatizan la necesidad de desarrollar las industrias extractivas, sus críticos señalan las consecuencias ambientales, políticas y sociales de esta industria. No obstante, es innegable que la principal causa de los conflictos socioambientales en el mundo, que incluye la violación de los derechos humanos fundamentales, los derechos culturales y los derechos ambientales, tiene como corolario la mercantilización y explotación de la naturaleza. El carácter global de las industrias extractivas requiere una teoría de la justicia más comprensiva, que tenga en consideración el desafío global y la soberanía estatal, además de la complejidad que caracteriza a este tipo de problemas en términos de espacio, tiempo, sujetos y materias. Filósofos políticos, en su mayoría angloamericanos, han desarrollado diversas aproximaciones teóricas a la justicia global que hacen referencia al desarrollo, la redistribución, la protección ambiental, la solidaridad, la responsabilidad, la protección de los derechos humanos y la equidad. Este artículo busca analizar en qué medida el concepto de justicia global puede contribuir a comprender mejor y resolver los conflictos socioambientales relativos a las industrias extractivas.
