title: Decree No. 2001, 28 September 1988.
abstract: This Decree regulates the establishment of indigenous reservations in Colombia.  Under the Decree, an indigenous reservation is a legal institution constituted by the transfer to an indigenous community of title to the property where the community is situated or where it will be located.  The property may be cultivated or uncultivated.  The Decree sets forth the requirements for qualifying for the transfer of such land.  Before the land is transferred, the Colombian Institute for Agricultural Reform is to monitor and review the proposed reservation.  It is to undertake a socioeconomic and legal study of the indigenous community and to ascertain the community's origins, institutions, customs, and property claims.  It is also to address the property claims of third parties.
