How many times in the classrooms of the Faculty of Law, Catholic University, discussed the question the title of this article suggests?, " has been discussed many times the multiculturalism of our country and the legal implications that it has, but is to discuss the exploitation of resources, generally in favor of mining companies? Maybe not many times, and certainly not to the extent to which it has been carrying out since the Aug. 2 to 6 of the same month, concerning VII International Congress of the Latin American Network Legal Anthropology (RELAJU).

RELAJU, made by different institutions and academics from different countries of the region, organized an International Congress every 2 years. This time the Congress has been organized by many institutions representing research or activism on issues related to Legal Anthropology. Among them, National Central Union of Rural Peru (CUNARC), Amazon Center of Anthropology and Practical Application (CAAAP), Andean Commission of Jurists (CAJ), Instituto de Defensa Legal (IDL), Law, Environment and Natural Resources (DAR, the Access to Justice in Rural Communities (PROJUR), Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (PUCP) and the International Institute of Law and Society.

himself is done with the idea of \u200b\u200bspreading, analyze and discuss not only theoretical discussions on legal anthropology, but the current problems and issues of multiculturalism from a legal perspective, but also political, economic and social development. In this sense, the focus of this year is "A challenge to our societies: identities, multiculturalism, legal pluralism and rights collectives. "

Thus, for these purposes, Congress has been divided into three activities. A "pre-conference course," which appeared in various academic figures. The aim of the workshop was to prepare participants in the general concepts and issues of current debate around the theme of the event, in this regard, presentations by Esther Sanchez (Colombia), René Kuppe (Austria), André Hoekema ( Netherlands), Rodolfo Stavenhagen (Mexico), among other speakers.

Secondly, there was a "Colloquium" in which several academics and representatives of indigenous and community groups, giving their opinions and perspectives on topics of current debate in relation to the main theme of the event. Among this subjects are: the perception of development around the multiculturalism of countries in the region, the perception of the rights of indigenous peoples in international law of human rights and their extent, the reform of justice and its relationship with multiculturalism, etc. It is particularly salient to the conversation this opinion both from academia, and the experience lived by the actors participating in the debate from the facts that give rise.

In the same vein, it also emphasizes the "Congress" itself, consisting of various parallel thematic working groups, in which event participants presented their own research work, to be discussed freely assistants each table. The work, set in the theme of the event, are complemented by presentations from representatives of indigenous and community groups in which they share and bring to the table their own experiences about how they develop legal systems different from the state and how these relate to the state legal system (coordination experiences o conflicto).

Si duda, este Congreso Internacional ha significado una oportunidad, particularmente escasa en las discusiones jurídicas académicas, para cuestionar no solo la noción de justicia predominante y el sistema jurídico que emana de ella, a propósito de nuestra diversa realidad cultural y por ende jurídica. Debatir incluso los conceptos más generales sobre los cuales se sustentan las instituciones democráticas, tales como “Estado”, “democracia” o “poder”. Un ejercicio, sin duda también, positivo para quienes desde la cátedra, el análisis profesional o académico, o el activismo social work or interested in the circumstances in which our multicultural reality is defining standards and institutions at all levels, whether legal, political, social or economic.
