Pueblos Indigenas Kuna de Madungandi y Embera de Bayano y sus miembros

Case
Summary

The facts of the case concern the rights of the Kuna and Emberá indigenous peoples (who inhabit the Bayano region) given the failures and delays involved in the collective titling of their land and territory due to the construction of a hydroelectric complex.

The Inter-American Court applied standards regarding collective property rights and analyzed state procedures to guarantee access to these rights, as well as the protections against third parties who could affect the fulfillment of these rights.
