The aim of this article is to analyze the state of regulation pertaining to prior consultation in Peru, with a specific focus on the assurance of the right to prior consultation during the state of emergency through the proposal of virtual prior consultation. To achieve this, an analysis of recent scientific literature on prior consultation in Peru will be conducted, along with a review of pertinent regulations at both the national and international levels, as well as pronouncements from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding the proposal for virtual prior consultation. The article concludes that, in the case of virtual prior consultation, the recommendations of IACHR are unequivocal in highlighting that, due to structural flaws, which encompass the existing digital divide among indigenous peoples, this measure would not make it possible to carry out a prior consultation that guarantees full participation, the formation of a free and informed will. Furthermore, considering the institutional deficiencies and disincentives observed with respect to standard prior consultation, if implemented, it would intensify the existing disadvantage among indigenous peoples vis-à-vis the state.
