Indigenous Peoples Rights Act

The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) is a legal framework designed to protect and promote the rights of Indigenous peoples. It recognizes their ancestral domains, cultures, and self-determination. The law ensures that Indigenous communities have the right to manage their lands and resources, participate in decision-making processes affecting them, and preserve their unique cultural identities. IPRA aims to address historical injustices and empower Indigenous peoples by granting them legal recognition and protection of their rights, fostering respect for their traditions, and promoting their sustainable development.
