Chile

In the last two years, Chile’s history has been marked by the debate to reform its national Constitution. Land rights, environmental protection and water management were key topics on the agenda. One of the most significant aspects of this process was the participation of indigenous peoples in the Constitutional Convention, which was presided by an indigenous woman, Elisa Loncón. But the constitutional proposal was rejected in a referendum in September 2022. The prospects for land rights reform in the near future are minimal.
