Resum

El cas Norín Catrimán et al. (líders, membres i activistes del poble indígena maputxe) contra Xile, sentència de 29 maig 2014, es refereix a un procés penal que implica autoritats tradicionals o membres del poble indígena maputxe, així com activistes que treballen per defensar els drets d'aquest poble. Es van iniciar procediments penals en contra seva pels fets esdevinguts el 2001 i 2002, arran dels quals se'ls va condemnar com a autors de delictes tipificats com a terrorisme. En la sentència Norín Catrimán, el IACtHR considera que, en les circumstàncies del cas, la imposició de sancions accessòries, que afectaven els drets polítics consagrats en l'article 23 (el dret al vot, la participació directa en els assumptes públics i l'accés a càrrecs públics), d'una naturalesa absoluta i perpètua o per un període fix però prolongat (15 anys), va ser contrària al principi de proporcionalitat del càstig i constituïa una greu violació dels drets polítics. En les mesures correctives, es va assignar un paper crucial a l'adopció de totes les mesures administratives, judicials o d'un altre tipus que fossin necessàries per revocar tots els aspectes de les sentències penals. Les autoritats judicials xilenes van adoptar recentment aquestes mesures.
