The programme "Supporting the development of an intercultural legal system in accordance with the rule of law" (ProJuriDe) in Bolivia supports the formation of a legal system that is both aware of intercultural issues and the principles of rule of law. A lack of consideration for distinct legal cultures, constitutional criteria and human rights up to now have intensified existing inequalities, particularly regarding the rights of indigenous communities and women. Working with the partner ministry, courts and individuals representing the formal and indigenous justice systems, the project aims to increase respect for differences in legal cultures and to protect human rights. It provides a systematic and flexible combination of policy advice and technical assistance to help set in motion and support the consensus-building processes needed for developing an intercultural legal system.
