| With regard to equal treatment before the tribunals, CNDH and APRODEH considered that the right was only a formal one for the monolingual indigenous populations (those speaking Quechua, Aymara and Amazonian languages) since in practice they did not have access to interpreters to argue their claims or defend them. |
| The 1999 report of APRODEH noted that the 1993 Constitution had watered down one of the most important rights of indigenous persons recognized under the former Constitution, recognizing only the imprescriptible nature of community property, and not that it was inalienable or unavailable for use. |
| The court in the case mentioned by APRODEH had referred in its judgement to the supremacy of free enterprise and defined discrimination as an "identifiable separation policy" for the purpose of marginalization, ignoring the Convention definition which referred to any act which had "the purpose or effect" of discriminating. |
