The Fate of Indigenous Peoples' Rights Recognition After the Enactment of the National Criminal Code

Abstract

This recognition needs to be further regulated through a Government Regulation, as it serves as a procedural requirement for being recognized as indigenous peoples. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the requirements for indigenous peoples’ recognition through legislation, both before and after the enactment of the Criminal Code. Additionally, it is important to examine the struggles of indigenous peoples in Ecuador, who are organizing into indigenous groups to fight for the rights that have been taken from them. This involves an interdisciplinary approach to law, often referred to as socio-legal research. As a result, indigenous peoples often find themselves in a weak position in relation to the dominant state power. The government must provide political recognition that indigenous peoples are equal legal subjects, with the capacity to act legally in representing their interests as indigenous groups. The future of indigenous peoples after the enactment of the National Criminal Code in 2026 is likely to offer them equal standing when dealing with the state, particularly in matters related to customary criminal law. Finally, it is important to reflect on the indigenous movement in Ecuador, which has made a significant impact on the political and legal landscape by successfully uniting indigenous peoples and nations in national solidarity.
