📅 20 November 2003 📍 Brazil

Decree 4,883 transferred federal responsibility for delimiting quilombola lands from the Ministry of Culture to the Ministry of Agrarian Development. The change placed the process within a land and agrarian institution, reflecting that quilombola rights concern territory and collective livelihoods as well as cultural recognition. Institutional reassignment did not guarantee that titles would be issued promptly.
