FOR THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD: REFLECTIONS FROM THE CASE SARAMAKA VERSUS SURINAME

Abstract

The study’s objective is to analyze how the ethno-cultural dissent can be administered in the perspective of dialogue and the recognition of the rights and culture of the "other". For this, we will analyze the case of Saramaka versus Suriname and the decision of the Inter- American Court of Human Rights on this conflict. In this scenario, the proposal is to reflect if the consultation and the principle of free, prior and informed consent can be instruments to ensure cultural diversity and the rights of affected people. The methodology consists in the literature that dialogues with the Law and the Anthropology.
