Report by the Plurinational State of Bolivia

The Plurinational State of Bolivia was founded following the adoption of the New Political Constitution of the State in February 2009 as drafted by a Constituent Assembly established on the basis of a popular vote. It is the first constitution to be approved by the Bolivian people in a referendum and it establishes a new social and political pact; it casts off the former Republic of Bolivia and creates a new State: sovereign, free, independent, democratic, intercultural and decentralized with autonomies. Its foundations are the plurality and political, economic, legal, cultural and linguistic pluralism that frame the integrating process of forging the country’s path towards "Vivir Bien" (Living Well).
