A/HRC/21/4
Special Rapporteurs have been denied, both from the UN and the OAS. On the
contrary, Ecuador maintains standing invitations for all Special Rapporteurs.
136.3.
Establish clear consultation procedures in order to implement the
right to free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples as contained in
the Constitution (Germany);
The Constitution of the Ecuadorian State establishes consultation as a right of all
Ecuadorians, but particularly for communities, peoples and nationalities, a previous,
free and informed consultation, but not their consent. Additionally, it is necessary to
indicate that Ecuador recognizes the existence of indigenous peoples living in
voluntary isolation, with the consequent obligation of guaranteeing their lives, of
respecting and making others respect their self-determination and will to remain in
isolation, and defend the validity of their rights, which turns unviable obtaining their
consent.
137. All conclusions and/or recommendations contained in the present report reflect
the position of the submitting State(s) and/or the State under review. They should not
be construed as endorsed by the Working Group as a whole.
