MOSONYI, Esteban Emilio. General Balance of 10 Years of the Bolivarian Process For the Indigenous Peoples: A Historical Recognition with Serious Collateral Problems. Revista Venezolana de Economía y Ciencias Sociales [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.1, pp.155-172. ISSN 20030507.

This article begins with a detailed analysis of, and recognition of the virtues of, the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution for the indigenous peoples. It also indicates how this recognition served to stimulate the self-esteem of the indigenous communities, However, it also indicates that almost all of the Transitory Dispositions, which stipulated time limits for the transformation of the principles into a reality firmly rooted in law, have been ignored or otherwise frustrated, including those calling for a delimitation of ancestral territories, with the result that Venezuela in this respect has advanced less than other Latin American countries with far less progressive constitutions.

Palabras clave : Venezuela; Indigenous Peoples; 1999 Constitution; Transitory Dispositions; Territorial Delimitation; Perijá.
