Interesting parallels and comparisons can be drawn between the struggle for land rights by Australian Aborigines and by Indians and Inuit in Canada. Recent Australian federal legislation has recognized some aboriginal rights to lands they have occupied for over 40,000 years. The author discusses the events leading up to that legislation, analyzes its major provisions and assesses its applications to date.

ABSTRAKDi dalam bagian kedua UUPA mengatur tentang pelaksanaan konversi hak atas tanah menjadi wujud kepastian hukum sebagaimana ketentuan Pasal 33 ayat (3) UUD 1945. Namun kepastian hukum terhadap konversi Hak atas tanah barat terutama sertifikat Hak Eigendom Verponding masih menjadi problematika tersendiri bagi masyarakat yang memiliki bukti kepemilikan hak atas tanah barat tersebut apabila dijadikan sebuah jaminan guna memperoleh fasilitas kredit. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah yuridis normatif dengan kajian bahan hukum primer, sekunder serta tersier. Berdasarkan pembahasan tersebut bahwa Kepastian Hukum terkait konversi hak Eigendom Verponding telah memiliki kekuatan hukum mengikat dengan ketentuan diperlukan konversi sehingga dapat dijadikan objek jaminan namun dalam prakteknya masih terdapat objek jaminan dengan tidak memperhatikan asal mula objek jaminan tersebut serta akibat hukum terhadap konversi hak atas tanah tersebut adalah pemberlakuan UUPA menjadi dasar bahwasanya prinsip status quo hak atas tanah terdahulu memberikan jaminan kepastian hukum dengan ketentuan hak-hak lama menjadi tidak diakui keberadaannya. Kata Kunci: hak atas tanah; hak barat; kepastian hukum jaminan; konversi ABSTRACTIn the second section of the UUPA regulates the conversion of land rights into a form of legal certainty as stipulated in Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution. But the legal certainty of the conversion of the Right to western land, especially the Eigendom Verponding Rights certificate, remains a problem for people who have proof of ownership of the western land if it is used as a guarantee to obtain credit facilities. The research method used is normative juridical with the study of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Based on the discussion that legal certainty related to the conversion of rights Eigendom Verponding has had a binding legal force with the necessary provisions of conversion so that it can be used as an object of guarantee but in practice there is still an object of guarantee by not taking into account the origin of the object of the guarantee and the legal consequences of the conversion of the right to land is the enactment of the UUPA being the basis that the principle of the status quo of the former land rights provides a guarantee of legal certainty with the provisions of old rights to be unclaimed civility.

In the national development the role of land for the fulfillment of various purposes will increase, either as a place to live or for business activities. In relation to that will also increase the need for support in the form of guarantee of legal certainty in the field of land. The result of the research is the conception of the state of Indonesia is a state law, which contains the meaning in the administration of government and the state based on the law, the protection of the law is a universal concept of the rule of law. The legal certainty on land rights as intended by the UUPA encompasses three things, namely the certainty of the object of land rights, certainty on the subject of land rights and certainty about the status of landrights. Legal conception of land title certificate is a proof that issued by authorized legal institution, containing juridical data and physical data which isused as evidence of ownership of land rights in order to provide assurance of legal certainty and certainty of rights to a plot of land owned or possessed by a person or legal entity. With the certificate of rights, it is expected that the juridical can guarantee the legal certainty and the right by the state for the holder of the right to the land. This country's guarantee is granted to the owner or the holder of the certificate may be granted because the land is already registered in the state land administration system.

The objectives of this research are: (1) to study and analyze the status of ownership of a modern shopping center or mall upon some tenure individual rights. (2) to study and analyze the process of grantingownership rights for apartment unit.The method used in this research was normative, that is, a legal research which was based on legal materials obtained from literature that examined legal norms related to the issue of providing ownership rights for apartment units upon some building rights.Based on the results of research and discussion, it can be concluded as follows: (1) PT. G.U. that wanted to have its apartment units certified for ownership had constraints by the absence of  implementation guidelines of Law No. 16 of 1985 (now Act No. 20 of 2011). (2) The principle of horizontal separation is the opposite of attachment principle which states that buildings and plants are integrated to land. (3) In planning the development of apartment, developers of the construction should first pay attention to the layout of the area of city/ county. (4) The construction of a housing project must meet some requirements, they are: administrative requirements, technical requirements and ecological requirements. (5) Prior to certificate of ownership registration upon an apartment unit, certificate of land rights either in the form of property rights, the right to use the land for building and the right to use and manage the land. (6) In the Act of Apartment, if it does not meet the provisions of these rules, there are some sanctions to be given. These may be in the form of administrative sanctions or criminal verdicts such as fines and imprisonment.Keywords: Granting Rights, Certificate of Ownership Rights Unit of the Flats, Broking,Transitional sale, Land Consolidation.

Abstract: Druwe Desa land is a customary whose management is implemented and belongs to desa pakraman. Although it has been acknowledged juridically, but the existence of Druwe Desa land in Bali is experiencing a vacuum related to the legal subject. On that basis, desa pakraman is appointed as subject of rights with respect to its land through the Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial/Head of National Land Agency Number 276/Kep-19.2/X/2017. The purpose of this research is to: (1) Make map of distribution of Druwe Desa land; (2) Describe the importance of strengthening the right to Druwe Desa land; (3) Describe the procedures for strengthening the right to Druwe Desa land; (4) Describe the benefits of the strengthening of Druwe Desa land rights. To achieve these objectives, qualitative research methods with ethnographic approach are used to understand the efforts of the community in maintaining the existence of Druwe Desa land. The results of this study indicate the potential shifting of the status of Druwe Desa land ownership that can indirectly threaten its existence. For that reason, it is necessary to strengthen the right to Druwe Desa land so that there will be no problems that can reduce the existence of asset of desa pakraman. Steps that need to be taken is the process of certification to obtain legal certainty.Keywords:   Druwe Desa land, desa pakraman, Existence, Tri Hita Karana, Awig-Awig  Intisari: Tanah Druwe Desa merupakan tanah adat yang pengelolaannya dilaksanakan dan menjadi milik desa pakraman.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk: (1) Membuat peta sebaran tanah Druwe Desa; (2) Mendeskripsikan pentingnya penguatan hak atas tanah Druwe Desa; (3) Mendeskripsikan tata cara penguatan hak atas tanah Druwe Desa; (4) Mendeskripsikan manfaat hasil penguatan hak atas tanah Druwe Desa. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, digunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi guna memahami upaya masyarakat dalam menjaga eksistensi tanah Druwe Desa. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya potensi pergeseran status kepemilikan tanah Druwe Desa yang secara tidak langsung dapat mengancam eksistensinya. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan penguatan hak atas tanah Druwe Desa agar tidak terjadi permasalahan yang dapat mengurangi keberadaan aset desa pakraman tersebut. Langkah yang perlu diambil adalah proses pensertipikatan untuk mendapatkan kepastian hukum.Kata Kunci:    Tanah Druwe Desa, desa pakraman, Eksistensi, Tri Hita Karana, Awig-Awig Pendah

Although, as the name of the country suggests, Botswana is populated mainly by Tswana-speaking peoples, it is acknowledged that the most indigenous or aboriginal inhabitants of the country are the San or Basarwa, identified and described in some of the literature as Bushmen. Basarwa also have the less admirable distinction of being perceived and depicted as the most marginalized of all the ethnic groups in the country. Concern about the status, and the political and economic position of Basarwa in Botswana has been expressed in numerous reports and writings, official and unofficial, and at various conferences, seminars and gatherings, national or international.

Indigenous Land

There remains a puzzle as to the status of Indigenous land rights in Australian colonial law. The common view is that the laws of the British colonies, and subsequently of the federated state, did not recognise Indigenous land rights until late in the 20th century. Against this, a smaller body of scholarship argues that recognition had already occurred much earlier, the clearest instance being in the colony of South Australia in the 1830s and 1840s. The result is an apparent duplicity in the colonial law, whereby Indigenous land rights appear to have been both recognised and denied. The article shows a tendency in the scholarly literature to resolve this duplicity in absolute terms, based on positivist analysis of law. In contrast, by taking a critical legal pluralist approach, the article shows how different and even contradictory manifestations of the same law subsisted simultaneously through time. This both sheds new light on the question of the recognition of Indigenous land rights in Australian colonial law, and contributes theoretically to ‘critical legal pluralism’ by developing its temporal dimension.

Final adjournment of the Seventy-fourth Congress, which like its immediate predecessors turned out a substantial grist of bills affecting cities, brought into focus once again the question of what is happening to our “sovereign states” and their political subdivisions. Federal contacts with cities are not, of course, an entirely new phenomenon in the United States. For a number of years prior to the depression, certain federal agencies had maintained informal contacts with municipal governments by offering them services, information, and advice, and such services are still being utilized. Until July, 1932, however, with the passage of the Emergency Relief and Construction Act, congressional statutes had never touched municipal governmental functions except indirectly through grants-in-aid to the states, the federal government had never entered into important contractual relations with cities, and Congress had never sat in legislative session to deal with the problems of cities as political units.

Settler Colonization

The history of colonialism in Canada has meant both the partition of Indigenous peoples from participating (physically, politically, legally) in the economy and a relentless demand to become assimilated as liberal capitalist citizens. Assimilation and segregation are both tendencies of colonization that protect the interests of white capital. But their respective prevalence seems to depend on the regime of racial capitalism at play. This paper examines the intersection of settler colonization and racial capitalism to shed light on the status of Indigenous economic rights in Canada. I ask, to what extent are Indigenous peoples understood to have economic rights—defined here as the governing authority to manage their lands and resources—and, how we can we analyze these rights to better understand the conjoined meanings of colonialism and capitalism as systems of power today? In this paper, I look at two sites to address this problem: first, I examine how the Supreme Court of Canada has defined the “Aboriginal right” to commercial economies since the patriation of Aboriginal rights into the Constitution in 1982; and, second, I examine how these rights are configured through state resource revenue-sharing schemes with First Nations, in particular from extractive projects, over the past few years. Each case study provides critical material for analyzing the economic opportunities available to First Nations through democratic channels of state “recognition,” as well as when and why tensions between state policies of segregation and assimilation emerge.

Abstract. The paper argues that a direct causal role for federalism must link policy makers' actions to costs and uncertainties unique to federalism, those associated with maintaining jurisdictional autonomy. The paper develops a formal model of imperfect information between two government actors, one preferring policy change and the other the status quo. A government chooses to change policy (or not) in a context where two things are uncertain: the stomach for intergovernmental retaliation, and the jurisdictional bona fides of the government in the policy area. The model shows how policy change is endogenous to beliefs about whom courts will support during federalism review. The model is then used in a detailed analysis of Australian cabinet archives at the state and Commonwealth levels, pertaining to the issue of Indigenous land rights policy between 1966 and 1978.Résumé. Le présent document soutient qu'un rôle causal direct du fédéralisme doit lier les actions des décideurs aux coûts et aux incertitudes uniques du fédéralisme : ceux associés au maintien de l'autonomie juridictionnelle. Dans cet article, je développe un modèle formel d'information imparfaite entre deux acteurs gouvernementaux, l'un préférant un changement de politique et l'autre le statu quo. Un gouvernement choisit de changer (ou non) une politique dans un contexte où deux éléments sont incertains : la propension à entrer dans des représailles intergouvernementales, et la bonne foi juridictionnelle du gouvernement dans le domaine en question. Le modèle montre que le changement de politique est endogène avec la perception de qui les tribunaux soutiendront dans un jugement de partage des compétences. Le modèle est ensuite utilisé pour analyser en détail les archives du Cabinet australien au niveau des états et du Commonwealth, relativement à la question des droits territoriaux autochtones entre 1966 et 1978.
