The second draft law recognizing collective land right for indigenous and tribal groups is written without the input from indigenous and tribal groups.

 

The second draft became a framework law separating the position of local stakeholders. The content of the second draft in relation to FPIC, demarcation, benefit sharing became separate laws while the first draft integrated these as part of the law and according to the views of indigenous and tribal representatives on these topics.

Since the second version of the law excluded the position of indigenous and tribal representatives, the law has been subject to ample debate and therefore the delay in the final approval of the law.
