Abstract
Este artículo analiza la Ley Federal para la Protección del Patrimonio Cultural de los Pueblos y Comunidades Indígenas y Afromexicanas. Además, examina el fenómeno de la biopiratería en la apropiación indebida de diseños textiles tradicionales y evalúa la efectividad de las disposiciones penales de la ley. La investigación identifica lagunas en la legislación, incluidos los desafíos en la aplicación y la falta de reconocimiento explícito de la biopiratería como un delito. Los hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de un mecanismo legal para garantizar el consentimiento previo, libre e informado de las comunidades afectadas.

It also examines the phenomenon of biopiracy, particularly in the misappropriation of traditional textile designs, and assesses the effectiveness of the law’s criminal provisions.
