Ulayat Rights in A Human Rights Perspective

Indonesia consists of many tribes that have customary laws in them. Customary rights for indigenous peoples often intersect with their use for the state. Legal protection for holders of customary matters, especially for the Kadorih Dayak indigenous people, is important to be investigated. By using a normative approach, through extracting library data and field data it is found that the protection of customary rights is still normative and has not been properly implemented. There have been attempts to marginalize indigenous peoples without a constructive solution from the state. Efforts are needed to raise awareness of the protection of customary rights law, as a form of respect and recognition of indigenous peoples as equal parts of Indonesian society before the law.
