18 5. Requests for extension of full ownership title and the granting of title in fee simple to 234 hectares, 48 ares, and 76.03 centiares (1997-2001) 86. According to the information at the IACHR’s disposal, the Triunfo de la Cruz Community and its members subsequently filed at least three applications with the INA with a view to obtaining title in fee simple to the rest of the land they had historically occupied. According to the information in the IACHR file, two of those applications went unanswered and the last led to the granting of definitive full ownership title to 234 hectares, 48 ares, and 76.03 centiares. 87. Thus, according to the evidence submitted, on September 8, 1997, a representative of the Triunfo de la Cruz Community filed an application with the INA to be granted “definitive title in fee simple to the land they peaceably occupy,” consisting of an area measuring 600 hectares, with the following boundaries: to the north, property of the Community, Caribbean Sea and River Plátano; to the south, Cerro El Tigre and kilometer 7; to the east, River Plátano and kilometer 7; and to the west, Cerro 56 Triunfo de la Cruz and Laguna Negra. According to the information at the IACHR’s disposal, on December 5, 1997, the INA admitted the application and ordered that an agrarian commissioner be 57 appointed to measure the land occupied by the Community. However, the IACHR was not notified whether this action actually was taken, nor was it informed of any subsequent steps to address the application. 88. At the same time, on July 8, 1998, in her capacity as President of the Community Council, Ms. Damacia Ramírez Morales filed an application with the INA to be awarded a fee simple title 58 to the 126.40 hectares for which a guarantee of occupancy had been granted in 1979 . According to the information provided by the parties, the first action taken by the INA was, at the request of the Community itself, to serve an injunction on the Municipality of Tela on July 29, 1999 to provide information regarding the juridical nature of the area, given that at that time the municipal urban perimeter had been expanded 59 (see below, section IV.D.1) . Once the Municipality had responded to that request, on August 29, 1999 the Community asked for a determination regarding the legal status of the plot it had requested. Based on the information in the file with the IACHR, this request went unanswered. 89. On April 4, 2000, the Community requested that an agrarian commissioner be appointed to conduct a field inspection and measure or re-measure the property and it reiterated that request on 60 May 22, 2000. In response, and “with a view to determining and locating the measurement lines for the fee simple title already granted to said Garífuna Community,” on July 4, 2000 an Agrarian Commission re61 measured the area granted in 1993. According to the technical report drawn up by INA’s Head of Land Registry and Measurement following the re-measurement, the lands identified by the Community during 56 Annex 5.
