An abstract

The research project entitled “Reformation of Policy and Laws that Violated Land

Rights Study” was aimed to analyze appeals on violation of human rights on land and forest,
to analyze policies and laws related to the violation, and to develop proposal for policy

and laws reformation. One hundred appeal cases of forest land, public land, land reform plots,
private land and state land were analyzed. Critical analysis also included 75 copies of policies

and laws, 48 cabinet decisions. Focus group discussion and expert consultations were employed.
This research revealed that violent conflicts evidences over people’s land rights include

threatening, arresting, limiting land use and development activities, take over land, and unfair
treatments. Major causes of land rights violation were unclear demarcation of state land,

poor standard of government official performance, top-down and delayed decision making
processes, overrule of community rights, lacking of people’s participation in most of the land

management activities. Conflict resolution mechanism of the government was almost absent
or inefficient. Suggestions were made for the government to cancel all violent actions against

people victims of land rights violation and build up restorative justice processes to handle land
rights conflict cases. Strong people’s participation is highly recommended for all land

management activities, particularly in land demarcation and land use stipulation. Some policy
recommendations were to revisit all land policies and laws, amend contents of laws that lead

to the violation of land rights, and if possible combine them into a Land and Natural Resource
Code.
