Vol. 6 No. 1 (2022): La utilidad relativa y limitada de las ‘leyes étnico-raciales’ para el reconocimiento y defensa de los derechos de los afrodescendientes en su vida diaria y en los sistemas de justicia latinoamericanos
Dossier
The relative and limited utility of ‘ethnoracial laws’ for the recognition and defense of the rights of Afrodescendants in their daily lives and in Latin American justice systems
This special issue focuses on the practice of Latin American justice systems with regards to the application of “ethnoracial laws” and the recognition and defense of Afrodescendants’ rights. Contributions focus on an individual national context. The intention is to explore recent litigations or complaint processes in light of current socio-political developments in the region, with the aim of discovering what they possibly herald for the future of ethnoracial laws and the rights of Afro-descendants in the decade that just started. We understand that “ethnoracial law” includes: 1) articles of constitutions and special laws that recognize and define collective rights based on ethnoracial identity (multicultural legal instruments); and 2) constitutional articles and special laws often referred to as ‘racial equality law’ or ‘anti-discrimination law’.
