Abstract
The objective of this research is to identify which are the necessary conditions and characteristics that indigenous social movements shall meet in order to be in the position to exercise the set of rights established in the 2008 UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In order to approach this topic, a set of interviews with experts and indigenous leaders is used to frame those necessary conditions and characteristics that indigenous social movements require to successfully engage these rights Vis a Vis Nation States or other power apparatuses. Therefore, the aim of this research is to explain when any given indigenous mobilization may be successful in using or appealing to the UN Declaration to meet their social, political, economic, or cultural needs, or well when the characteristics of such movement may look for different alternatives than the UN Declaration to meet their objectives.
