espanolLa situacion de derechos humanos no puede ser separada del contexto sociocultural. El actual teritorio boliviano experimento tres grandes influencias civilizatorias (con diferentes culturas politicas): la civilizacion precolombina, la colonia espanola y la modernidad occidental. Los dos primeros modelos fomentaron una cultura autoritaria y colectivista, poco favorable a la concepcion contemporanea de los derechos humanos. La restauracion de la democracia (a partir de 1985) fomenta, con muchisimos obstaculos, una universalizacion sostenida de los derechos humanos, lo que se refleja en la creacion de nuevas leyes e instituciones y en el trabajo de numerosas organizaciones. En el futuro los derechos universales podran ser percibidos como algo propio y constitutivo de la identidad social boliviana. EnglishThe human rights situation cannot be cut off from the sociocultural context. The territory now comprising Bolivia has experienced three main civilizations, each one with a different political culture: the prehispanic Indian civilization, the Spanish colonial period and the current western modernity. The first two influences fostered an authoritarian and collectivistic culture and were not favorable to the contemporary conception of human rights. The re-establishment of democracy since 1985 promotes (despite many impediments) a lasting generalization of human rights. This can be seen in the creation of new laws and institutions and in the daily work of numerous organizations. In the future human rights may be considered as a fundamental component of Bolivian social identity.
