The Inter-American Court of Human Rights found Nicaragua violated the property rights of the Mayagna (Sumo) Awas Tingni community by failing to demarcate and title its traditional lands. It ordered delimitation, demarcation and titling, alongside compensation for community development and legal costs. The judgment recognized collective land tenure as a reparative remedy; implementation remained a separate challenge.
