A Report to Enhance Discussions about Customary Land Rights in Burma.....This purpose of this paper is to present a brief summary of the
issues and current
situations facing ethnic and indigenous communities around the
world that are
using a customary rights framework to manage their land and natural resources.
By outlining these experiences, ethnic groups in Burma will be
able to better understand their own context and
possibilities as they struggle to gain control over
their lands during this transitional time. While examining how
other countries
have incorporated customary land management structures into the
ir rule of law,
it is hoped that the ethnic groups in Burma can more eff
ectively discuss, debate
and outline their own strategies to obtain just and participatory land management
systems...
