166. Regarding the alleged violation owing to the persistence of the nature reserves to date, the Court specifies that, owing to its lack of jurisdiction to examine their creation, it is prevented from examining aspects related to the process that led to the technical determination of the dimensions, limits, and areas established as nature reserves. Furthermore, the violations that have been verified owing to the failure to recognize the property of the Kaliña and Lokono peoples, as well as the failure to delimit their territory, do not allow this Court to know the precise dimension of their traditional territory that is within these reserves, and which has already resulted in the violation of the right to collective property (supra para. 142). Consequently, the Court does not have any reliable evidence concerning the total area of the nature reserves claimed, which could correspond to the traditional territory possessed, occupied and used; in particular by the villages that adjoin the reserves, namely: Christaankondre and Langamankondre, with a population of around 1,000 persons, and Alfonsdorp with around 300 persons. 167. However, the Court has verified that, mainly in the Galibi and Wane Kreek nature reserves, there has been a continuous relationship between the Kaliña and Lokono peoples and certain areas that they use for their way of life; for example, hunting, fishing, gathering traditional medicinal plants, cultural centers, and sacred sites (supra paras. 37 and 84). In particular, at least six sacred sites were indicated within the Galibi Nature Reserve and three within the Wane Kreek Nature Reserve (supra para. 37). The Court has no information related to the traditional use and relationship with the Wia Wia Nature Reserve; hence, it will not rule in that regard. 168. Based on the above, in light of the Court’s case law, the Kaliña and Lokono peoples have the right to claim, under domestic law, the possible restitution of the parts of their traditional territory within the nature reserves that adjoin the territory that they currently possess and, in this regard, the State must assess the rights involved (supra paras. 155 and 165). In this case, the State must weigh the collective rights of the Kaliña and Lokono peoples against the protection of the environment as part of the public interest. Consequently, it must determine this when implementing the delimitation, demarcation and titling of the corresponding traditional territories (supra para. 139). B.3.2 Alleged restrictions for the indigenous peoples in the nature reserves 169. First, the Court takes note of the Suriname State’s commitment to, and interest in, environmental protection as revealed by the creation of several nature reserves within its territory, and the measures taken to maintain them. However, according to the representatives and the Commission, the State has restricted the rights of the Kaliña and Lokono peoples within the reserves in order to protect the natural resources and wildlife within them. 170. In this regard, given the existence of the reserves, the Court will assess alleged restrictions imposed on the indigenous peoples were proportionate, in relevant standards. To this end, it will analyze: (a) the compatibility of the indigenous peoples with the protection of the environment, and (b) the restrictions their application to this case. whether light of right of imposed the the the and B.3.2.1 Compatibility of the rights of the indigenous peoples and the protection of the environment 171. Regarding environmental protection as a justification for public interest, in the Salvador Chiriboga case, the Court established that, in a democratic society, the protection of the 45
