The Supreme Federal Court rejected the challenge to Decree 4,887 in ADI 3239. By upholding self-identification and the federal titling framework, the Court affirmed a legal route for implementing Article 68. The decision was a major defense against efforts to invalidate the procedure, but it did not itself title every community or resolve each local land conflict.
