In what may well prove to be a historic judgment for Indonesia's indigenous peoples, the Constitutional Court in Jakarta ruled today that the customary forests of indigenous peoples should not be classed as falling in 'State Forest Areas', paving the way for a wider recognition of indigenous peoples' rights in the archipelago. The judgment was made in response to a petition filed with the court by the national indigenous peoples' organisation AMAN (Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara) some 14 months ago. AMAN had objected to the way the 1999 Forestry Act treats indigenous peoples' 'customary forests' as providing only weak use-rights within State Forest Areas. The judgment now opens the way for a major reallocation of forests back to the indigenous peoples who have long occupied them and looked after them. The Government's own statistics revealed last year that there are some 32,000 villages whose lands overlap areas classed as 'State Forest Areas'.

Following high profile cases of police violence and killings of rural people protesting land grabs, a new alliance of rural people - indigenous peoples, farmers, workers and landless people as well as supportive NGOs - is demanding the repeal of laws which allow the State to expropriate people's lands and resources in favour or large businesses. They are also demanding the passing of new laws that secure the people's rights in land and ensure ecological justice, through agrarian reforms and the recognition of indigenous peoples' rights.

En estrecha colaboración con socios de Indonesia, el Forest Peoples Programme (Programa para los Pueblos de los Bosques) ayudó a convocar una reunión global de The Forests Dialogue (El Diálogo de los Bosques) dedicada a asegurar que el derecho al consentimiento libre, previo e informado (CLPI) sea respetado en Indonesia. El encuentro se desarrolló a lo largo de cuatro días del mes de octubre de 2010 en la provincia de Riau de la isla de Sumatra, Indonesia, con más de 80 participantes de variada procedencia, entre ellos pueblos indígenas, representantes de comunidades locales, organizaciones no gubernamentales, instituciones financieras internacionales, organismos gubernamentales y el sector privado. Esta reunión fue la primera de una serie de diálogos sobre el terreno que se ha planificado con la finalidad principal de explorar cómo los organismos gubernamentales, las empresas comerciales y las organizaciones no gubernamentales deberían respetar en la práctica el derecho de los pueblos indígenas y las comunidades locales a dar o denegar su consentimiento libre, previo e informado, a través de sus organizaciones representativas libremente elegidas, para actividades que puedan afectar a sus derechos.
