Pluralismo Jurídico en el Estado Pluri-Uninacional de Ecuador: realidades y desafíos
Legal Pluralism in the Pluri-Uninational State of Ecuador: realities and challenges

Mit Verónica Yuquilema Yupangui, indigene Juristin aus Ecuador und Jeremy Webber, prominenter kanadischer Rechtsprofessor, Experte für Verfassungsrecht und Rechte indigener Völker.
Moderation: René Kuppe, Institut für Rechtsphilosophie 

Ausgehend von der genaueren Darstellung der Situation in Ecuador werden die Erfahrungen mit nicht staatlicher indigener Rechtsprechung in Lateinamerika und in Nordamerika kritisch mit Bezugnahme auf Demokratie und Menschenrechte verglichen.

El objetivo de esta presentación es dar a conocer un escenario general del pluralismo jurídico en el marco constitucional y social ecuatoriano, así como también visibilizar la realidad de confrontación con el Estado pero también de fortalecimiento y desafíos que vivencian las comunidades, especialmente indígenas.

The objective of this presentation is to give a general perspective of the legal pluralism in the Equadorian constitutional and social framework, as well as to make visible the reality of confrontation with the State but also of strengthening and challenges experienced by communities, especially indigenous.

, University of Victoria: Legal Pluralism from a Canadian Perspective.
The commitment in the Ecuadorian constitution to a plurinational state is an intriguing and important one. Canada too is engaged in a process of Indigenous/non-Indigenous reconciliation. The conversation with Verónica Yuquilema Yupangui will be a valuable opportunity to learn firsthand and to compare whether and how that commitment is being implemented in both countries.Vortrag und Dialog finden auf Spanisch und Englisch statt, Verständnis- und Diskussionsfragen können aber gerne auf Deutsch gestellt und übersetzt werden.
