About [Edit]
Published in October 2004, this paper discusses land tenure and titling issues in Latin America, delving into descriptions of indigenous land tenure regimes in 16 countries, the common problems in their legal frameworks, and other case studies in relation to natural resource management. The document attempts to:
1. Recognize the existence of these complex land rights and land titling systems across Latin America
2. Study the content at a country level, so that international experiences and comparisons may spark a move towards policy coherence and legislation that will ultimately benefit indigenous peoples and poor people who live from the land
3. Demonstrate that land is not only a physical asset with some economic and financial value, but an intrinsic dimension and part of peoples' lives and belief systems
