FOR THE FIRST TIME, COLOMBIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT RULINGS ARE BEING TRANSLATED INTO INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES The Amazon Conservation Team and the Colombian Constitutional Court are culturally and linguistically adapting the primary rulings of the Court to 26 indigenous languages. The project seeks to ensure the promotion and dissemination of as well as access to the decisions of the Court that benefit ethnic communities. The adaptation, beyond being literal, creates visual, graphic and audio tools that facilitate ethnic communities’ access to information on the court’s most significant decisions. This project promotes the self-determination and governance of these communities, along with respect for human dignity.
