ANALYSIS OF THE RULINGS ISSUED BY THE PERUVIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT
Keywords:
Language, culture, ethnicity, law, jurisprudenceAbstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the recognition of Peru as a Multicultural Constitutional State, through judgments issued by the Peruvian Constitutional Court (TC), in contrast to the constitutional doctrine. This study was developed using a qualitative documentary analysis methodology that allowed the identification and examination of the selected information according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicate that the TC recognizes in its jurisprudence the relevance of the ethnic and cultural rights established in the Constitution. This study concludes that the Court plays a pivotal role in developing its rulings, which demonstrate the commitment to protect, respect, guarantee, and promote the rights of indigenous peoples. However, it also highlights the need for further doctrinal development to fully consolidate this multicultural approach in the legal and social practice of the country.
