Conflicting Laws, Overlapping Claims : the politics of indigenous peoples land rights in Mindanao
This book analyzes whether the indigenous peoples' ownership and effective control over ancestral land and territories can be ensured with the interface of customary laws and state laws on land tenure and resource use within the Philippine legal system, and whether the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA), a legislation that embodies this plurality, can be fully enforced. It looks into the status of ancestral domain claims and the extent of IPRA implementation in Mindanao. This book also examines the rights of four indigenous groups over land and resources in specific areas in Mindanao that have been subject to competing claims by the state, mining and logging companies and other private groups.
