52 “Where the exercise of any of the Rights or freedoms referred to in Article 1 is not already ensured by legislative or other provisions, the States Parties undertake to adopt, in accordance with their constitutional processes and the provisions of this Convention, such legislative or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to those rights or freedoms.” 185. By virtue of this Article, States must effectively implement and enforce the constitutional, legislative and regulatory provisions of their internal law that enshrine the rights of indigenous and tribal 173 peoples and their members, so as to ensure the real and effective enjoyment of such rights. 186. The IACHR positively values the adoption of legal provisions on the collective rights of indigenous peoples, but at the same time it has forcefully called upon States to submit information about 174 their implementation. On several occasions, the IACHR has deemed it a good practice for states to adopt and promulgate rules in their domestic legal systems that recognize and protect the rights of 175 indigenous peoples and their members. At the same time, it has also insisted that juridically beneficial laws “cannot by themselves guarantee the rights of such peoples.” A favorable legal framework is “insufficient for due protection of their rights if it does not go hand in hand with policies and actions by the State to ensure application of and effective compliance with the provisions which the State itself has, in a 176 sovereign manner, undertaken to apply.” From this perspective, indigenous and tribal peoples have a 177 right to see the law implemented and applied in practice, and only a sustained implementation of constitutional and legal advances that are pertinent for the legal force of indigenous and tribal peoples’ 178 rights can mark an advance in their real situation. In the same line, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has explained that “legislation alone is not enough to guarantee the full effectiveness of the rights protected by the Convention, but rather, such guarantee implies certain governmental conducts to ensure 179 the actual existence of an efficient guarantee of the free and full exercise of human rights” 187. Specifically with regard to the right to property, purely formal abstract recognition of indigenous and tribal peoples’ right to communal property in domestic law must be accompanied by 180 concrete measures to make the right effective. “Merely abstract or juridical recognition of indigenous lands, territories, or resources, is practically meaningless if the property is not physically delimited and 173 CIDH, Democracia y Derechos Humanos en Venezuela, 2009.
