This report accompanies the composite publication that forms the land rights study; it aims to provide context to the country studies. It does not repeat or synthesise the country studies, but seeks to complete them. The first chapter describes indigenous forest peoples in Africa from an anthropological point of view. The second chapter highlights both historical principles of international law that have affected the situation of indigenous peoples and contemporary human rights standards. The report then ends with suggestions for the way forward.
