Serious outstanding issues must be resolved before a VPA can be signed. These include recognition of native customary rights and a stakeholder consultation process which is of major concern as it is failing to bring consensus or deal with long standing conflicts. The problem is most stark in the Malaysian State of Sarawak, which holds a large amount of the country’s forests, has a majority of indigenous peoples, and is home to over 150 court cases involving land claims.
