00:00And the Bolivian Ombudsman's Office and civil society organizations expressed their concern
00:05over the serious impact on human rights in the South American country.
00:08The information was released in a statement by the Bolivian Ombudsman's Office which stated,
00:13We call immediately and urgently on the mobilized social organizations, national, departmental
00:19and municipal authorities, as well as political actors to establish a structured, constructive,
00:24respectful and effective dialogue process which must be based on active listening, communication,
00:29free from stigmatization and mutual recognition.
00:32The information continued by stating that the dialogue must be a safe and inclusive space
00:36where all voices can be heard without fear of pressure, retaliation or discrimination,
00:41guaranteeing the full exercise of human rights and respect for diversity of opinion.
00:46The absence of consensus can have incalculable consequences for society, which is why the
00:51combined efforts and commitment of all parties are required to make this a reality.
00:56The statement ended by saying, We urge that the results of this process define a clear
01:01roadmap and a strategy with a structural focus aimed at responding to society's legitimate
01:05demands regarding its participation in government decisions, prioritizing the well-being of the
01:10entire society.
01:11The dialogue must ensure permanent mechanisms for inclusive and diverse public participation
01:17in governance, strengthen democratic institutions and define sustainable approaches to conflict
01:22management.
01:23Furthermore, it must ensure that the proposed solutions are not merely palliative or situational,
01:29but rather sustainable and long-term in order to guarantee effective governance.
