In Saramaka People v. Suriname, the Inter-American Court recognized collective property rights of a tribal people and ordered legal recognition, consultation and safeguards for projects affecting their territory. It also required Suriname to establish a community development fund and pay US$675,000 in damages. The ruling connected material redress with land, participation and cultural survival, while its implementation and the reach of state consultation remained contested.
