According to the information produced by the parties, on January 27, 1999, a new request for recognition of lands was presented to the Presidency of the Republic from the Emberá community of Ipetí on behalf of the “Organización de Unidad y Desarrollo de Ipetí-Emberá,” an association that has legal status granted by the Ministry of Interior and Justice by Resolution No. 118-PJ217 35. On the same date, a request for recognition of lands from the Emberá community of Piriatí was presented to the Cabinet Council of the Presidency of the Republic. By means of this request, it was asked that titling be done in the name of the “Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Comunidad de Piriatí – Emberá Alto del Bayano,” a representative organization of the community of Piriatí with legal status 218 granted by the Ministry of Interior and Justice by Resolution No. 583-PJ-256. No response to these two requests appears in the record before the IACHR. 164. As mentioned, on December 23, 2008, Law No. 72 was adopted. It “establishes the special procedure for the adjudication of collective property rights to their lands for the indigenous 219 peoples who are not in the comarcas.” According to its Article 4, the competent authority for carrying out that procedure was the National Bureau of Agrarian Reform of the Ministry of Agricultural 220 Development. 165. Based on that law, on October 27, 2009, the representatives of the Emberá indigenous communities of Ipetí and Piriatí filed a request for adjudication of lands with the National Bureau of Agrarian Reform by which they requested the collective titling of 3,191 hectares in the name of the 221 community of Ipetí and 3,754 in the name of the community of Piriatí. On that occasion, it was also requested that “in keeping with Article 111 of the Agrarian Code, and as a matter that must be ruled on before the underlying claim can be decided, the suspension should be ordered at any stage of any request for or processing of property titles or certification of alleged possessory rights over the lands or 222 any administrative application that is aimed at obtaining property title over those lands.” 166. On October 8, 2010, Law 59 was adopted by which it is ordered that the National Bureau 223 of Agrarian Reform be replaced in its authority by the ANATI. On January 26, 2011, the General Cacique of the Emberá General Congress of Alto Bayano reiterated to the ANATI the request for 224 adjudication of land in favor of the Emberá communities of Piriatí and Ipetí. 217 According to that communication, the following were attached to justify the request: (i) proof of the juridical personality of the Organización de Unidad y Desarrollo de la Comunidad de Ipeti-Emberá, (ii) a population census, and (iii) a map produced by persons authorized to perform this type of technical work.
