Logging in Sarawak - report by IDEAL

The research underlying the production of this report is coordinated by the Institute for Development of Alternative Livestyle Lifestyle (IDEAL) on behalf of JOANGOHUTAN. In this report, we argue that Malaysia, and more cogently the Sarawak state government, are in violation of national, state and international laws in recognising NCR, despite clear court decisions upholding NCR. We draw examples of land cases brought by Orang Asli and Sarawak indigenous communities and court decisions recognising NCR. Our analysis of the intersection of NCR and legal justice reflects the importance of developing new understandings of land issues rooted in the lived experiences of indigenous communities and how the Courts have begun to address and improve legal justice at the same time protect the rights of indigenous peoples.
