In observance of the Constitution of Colombia 1991, there have recognized some native indigenous people prerogatives in laws. These laws manifest from multiple legal, national and international scenarios the necessity of always looking for the defense and survival of the remaining indigenous culture in the country. This starting point gives indigenous communities sovereignty, socio-economic development, and freedom of political, legislative and judicial condition. The system have respect and cosmological practices inherent to their culture and heritage, only if they are not contrary to the provisions by national ordinary law. Under this idea of autonomy is possible to analyze the possible liability of the State for legislative inaccuracy by the lack of a law of coordination between the special Indigenous jurisdiction and the National Jurisdiction as seen on a specific case of the practice of female circumcision on living birth Women practiced by the Embera Chami Community.
