Abstract
Los pueblos indígenas de América Latina reivindican un derecho propio y autónomo distinto al derecho del Estado aunque no enfrentado a él. La justificación de esta aspiración se basa en la singularidad de este derecho de marcado carácter colectivo y consuetudinario bien distinto del derecho estatal y la percepción del mismo como única norma vinculante. Tanto el derecho procesal como el derecho penal indígenas muestran un sentido comunitario en su elaboración histórica, transmitido de generaciones en generaciones, y resaltan la relevancia de la mediación en su aplicación
The indigenous peoples of Latin America claim their own autonomous law other than that of the state, but not in conflict with it. The justification for this aspiration is based on the uniqueness of this distinct collective and customary law, which is rather different from state law and the perception of it as the only binding law. Both procedural law and indigenous criminal law show a sense of community in their historical development, passed down from generation to generation, highlighting the importance of mediation in its application
