La adopción de tratados internacionales, que impliquen cuestiones importantes, debe ser aprobada por referendo antes de su ratificación. Asimismo, la reforma total de la Constitución, o aquella que afecte sus principios fundamentales, derechos, deberes, y garantías, tendrá lugar a través de una Asamblea Constituyente, motivada por voluntad popular mediante referendo. La vigencia de la reforma necesitará de referendo constitucional aprobatorio.
También deben celebrarse procesos de “consulta previa” respecto de decisiones para la realización de proyectos, obras o actividades relativas a la explotación de recursos naturales. Aunque estos no son de carácter vinculante, deben ser considerados por las autoridades y representantes respectivos.
