In a further order concerning the 2015 consent agreement, the Caribbean Court of Justice required Belize to establish a BZ$300,000 fund as an initial step toward protecting Maya customary land tenure. The order shows the difference between a legal undertaking and its implementation. It provided a concrete material resource, but the amount was framed as a first step and did not settle Maya land rights.
