189. Therefore, the failure to ensure the use and enjoyment of property because the State did not to free the Punta Piedra community’s territory of encumbrances for more than 15 years, as well as the failure to execute the aforementioned agreements, created serious tensions between the communities in question. This has prevented the Punta Piedra community from enjoying the effective possession and protection of its territory vis-à-vis third parties in violation of the right to collective property. B.3.1 Increase in third-party occupation of the territory titled 190. The 2007 cadastral survey report provided information regarding the area occupied by third parties at that time. However, a dispute exists as to the territory granted in the second title that, following the said report and at the present time, is allegedly occupied by third parties who are not members of the Punta Piedra community. The Court will now make the relevant analysis. 191. In their final arguments, the representatives indicated that “the total area occupied by Rio Miel settlers corresponded to the whole area of the 1999 expansion […] which the settlers have used to make fenced pastures for extensive cattle raising, for housing and for crop production. Occupation occurred at three distinct times: prior to 1993 there was no settler invasions; from 1993 to 2003, the first settlers established themselves; and from 2003 to date, those lands were sold to new settlers […].” In their observations on the on-site procedure, the representatives emphasized that, from the overflight made during the visit, it possible “to observe that the region is totally covered by African palm monocultures, and the houses of the Rio Miel community in the hills, as well as vast areas of pasture and plowed lands.

At present, there are 71 heads of household for a total of 355 inhabitants who jointly occupy 612.13 hectares that are used for cattle raising, and cultivation of African palm, plantains and rice.” 193. The Court takes note that during the hearing in this case, the representatives asked presumed victim, Doroteo Thomas Rodriguez, about the size of the area occupied by the Rio Miel settlers and he answered: “[i]n the expansion title [of 1,500 hectares], the Punta Piedra community is not working even an inch of land because it is in the hands of the invaders and when we make a claim we are always told, “you have the documents but we have the land.” 194.
