Internationalizing Indigenous Community Land Rights: Nicaraguan Indians and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights

PONSACS has been involved in a landmark land and resource rights case brought before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights by the community of Awas Tingni of Nicaragua's Caribbean coast. PONSACS anthropological and cartographic research and assistance with the prosecution in the case helped to ensure that the community was granted legal rights to their land based on their tradition use and occupancy.
