CAT/OP/BOL/3/Add.1 158. The Strategic Institutional Plan establishes the continuation of the justice and transparency policies implemented since 2016, while at the same time providing a management tool for the medium term. 159. In compliance with the recommendations made by the Subcommittee, the need to strengthen the effectiveness and operation of the campesino, original and indigenous justice system has been recognized, which will undoubtedly have a direct impact on reducing the backlog of cases in the ordinary courts and ensuring access to justice on the basis of plurality in accordance with the principles set forth in the Constitution. 160. All the actions of the Office of the Deputy Minister for Campesino, Original and Indigenous Justice must be in compliance with strategic guidelines, constitutional provisions and international instruments, in such a way as to ensure respect for rights during trials and sentencing in the campesino, original and indigenous justice system. In accordance with the nature and specificity of the campesino, original and indigenous justice courts, and taking into account the particular focus on conciliation and restorative justice, there are plans to increase the number of cases resolved by these courts, while reducing those dealt with by the ordinary courts. 161. This in turn would reduce the number of persons held in pretrial detention or serving prison sentences; but the primary task is undoubtedly to ensure that other courts know about and respect the jurisdiction of the campesino, original and indigenous justice system. 162. Accordingly, the Office of the Deputy Minister for Campesino, Original and Indigenous Justice has set the following priorities for its activities: (a) Strengthening the campesino, original and indigenous justice system by providing the necessary technical assistance; (b) Complying with international instruments that enshrine the right to selfdetermination as the legal framework for the consolidation of campesino, original and indigenous autonomy; (c) Implementing sectoral plans as part of the plurinational policy for the strengthening and consolidation of egalitarian judicial pluralism, as set out in the Constitution; (d) Developing and implementing instruments of coordination and cooperation to ensure equal relations between courts; (e) Developing and implementing programmes and projects aimed at strengthening the rights of campesino, original and indigenous nations and peoples; (f) Developing and implementing programmes and projects aimed at strengthening access to constitutional justice. 163. With regard to measures aimed at implementing this recommendation, the Office of the Deputy Minister for Campesino, Original and Indigenous Justice is carrying out the following activities, in accordance with its mandate: • Promoting and coordinating analysis and reflection exercises based on interjurisdictional dialogue to identify needs and weaknesses that need to be strengthened in the campesino, original and indigenous justice system (National Meeting of the campesino, original and indigenous justice system) • Developing a proposal for a sectoral plan containing a series of actions and programmes linked and coordinated with other sectors of the judiciary and private institutions to consolidate egalitarian judicial pluralism • Developing a coordination and cooperation protocol as a theoretical and regulatory instrument to guide the actions of the various courts based on the principle of intercultural interpretation to guarantee hierarchical equality and mutual respect • Concluding inter-agency agreements with the Plurinational Constitutional Court and the judiciary to facilitate access to constitutional justice with an intercultural approach, in keeping with the circumstances of each campesino, original and indigenous nation and people GE.18-12244 25
