The first draft law collective rights for Indigenous and Tribal Peoples

The first draft law collective rights for Indigenous and Tribal Peoples of Suriname is written in collaboration with the indigenous and tribal groups.

KAMPOS and VIDS participate, with the Government in the formulation of the first draft of the land rights law including their position on important aspects. The draft was in discussion within the parliament but due to elections, there was not enough time to approve it. The new parliament rejected that first draft and proposed a new version.

KAMPOS provides the opportunity to all 6 tribal groups to unify their voice in their fight for land rights recognition. Also, under the umbrella of this organization, tribal leaders agree on a common Free Prior and Inform Consent protocol (FPIC)
