Popis:	The central argument of this article is that international (inter-American) human rights law upholds the land rights of the Lacandon Community (Comunidad Zona Lacandona). This argument relates to the issue of the recognition and protection of indigenous land rights on the basis of traditional tenure by international human rights law. The article contributes to the empirical understanding not only of the case study but also of the concepts of traditional occupation and land restitution in the context of the Inter-American Human Rights System. This article is based on data obtained from agrarian archives, interviews and a revision of the literature on the case study and the inter-American norms and jurisprudence.
