Abstract
International law has provided regulations – Convention on Biological Diversity and Nagoya Protocol – to protect indigenous peoples’ rights to Traditional Knowledge (TK). Countries could implement these established international standards to protect indigenous peoples towards their TK. This comparative study aims to describe how countries implement international standards of TK protection to the national level. Brazil and Indonesia share the resemblance of: (i) being developing countries; (ii) countries with abundant biodiversity; (iii) and having concern for TK protection arrangement in the international community. The method used in this research is a normative judicial approach. This research shows, Brazil and Indonesia show resemblance by acknowledging indigenous people’s rights constitutionally and having a registry system to anticipate the misappropriation to TK.
