| Â Â The event critically reviewed the implementation of indigenous rights following the enactment of the 2008 Constitution which recognized Ecuador as a Plurinational State.
   More than a decade later, Ecuador's indigenous peoples are taking stock of the relative fulfilment of their rights to self-determination, territorial integrity and the expression of their prior, free and informed consent in decisions affecting their territories and ways of life, social organizations and cultural production.    Some of the topics that had been discussed are: What are the limits to a Plurinational agenda in Ecuador?
What obstacles have been placed in the last decade that impede the transformation of the State? Â Â What advances have been registered, and how can further transformations be promoted through the contribution of the indigenous peoples of Ecuador?
   The panelists, men and women indigenous leaders, will draed up an account of their agendas, struggles
and social problems, before analyzing the response of the Ecuadorian State to each of these issues.
   Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, presented recommendations to the Ecuadorian State on the 18th of September at the Human Rights Council 42 session.
