PROTECTING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ AND TENURE RIGHTS IN IKN : Implications, Challenges and Prospects

This book explores the legal protection of tenure or “ulayat rights”, grounded in genealogical and territorial unity as per UN conventions. Emphasizing a holistic approach, the book urges consideration of genealogical and territorial unity for sustainable and culturally appropriate strategies. Effective tenure rights protection necessitates active indigenous community involvement, cross-sectoral collaboration, and adherence to cultural norms. Prioritizing genealogical and territorial unity is crucial for the Indonesian government and stakeholders. Legal policies aligned with these principles, especially acknowledging tenure/customary rights for IKN area forests and land management, are conceptually fitting. The book underscores the importance of comprehending and addressing the complex dynamics of protecting tenure or customary rights in the IKN area.
