Permanent Bureau of Consultation
The Permanent Bureau of Consultation is a body created by Decree 1397 of 1996 with the purpose of concluding between the indigenous peoples and organizations and the Colombian State all the administrative and legislative decisions that can affect this population, as well as to evaluate the execution of the indigenous policy. The indigenous population has been closely involved and has generated meetings, letters and bulletins in which they discuss what happens in the development of the Bureau. However, in most of their communications they have expressed their concern and denounced that the agreements reached in the Bureau have not been fulfilled by the Government and that their rights as indigenous have not been respected.
