A/HRC/33/42/Add.2 brought by the Office may be mentioned. In one case, a member of the armed forces was convicted in December 2015 of killing the Lenca leader Mr. Tomás García during a peaceful demonstration against the Agua Zarca project and a decision on whether others should also be prosecuted remains pending. In November 2015, a member of the armed forces was indicted for issuing threats against the Tolupán in Locomapa and causing damage. In July 2015, an application was made by the Public Prosecution Service to prosecute settlers in Auka and an arrest warrant and eviction orders were issued against them. Criminal prosecutions were also initiated against military personnel responsible for killing Garífunas in Iriona in December 2015. The effectiveness of these prosecutions depends on follow-up and implementation by the relevant judicial and police authorities. The fact is, however, that the Office and other bodies require more resources to address the large number of complaints of offences against indigenous people. 33. With regard to the local administration of justice, there have been complaints about the politicization of the appointment of judicial officials and about some cases where persons involved in drug trafficking, in La Mosquitia for example, avoid justice for offences against indigenous people by bribing judges, prosecutors or police officers. This has resulted in the deaths of indigenous people who have lodged complaints against drug traffickers with the local authorities. Representatives of the indigenous peoples said that justice officials in regions with a high indigenous population, such as La Mosquitia, should be members of an indigenous community and should be subject to oversight by their own community. 34. The indigenous peoples also call for respect and recognition for their own judicial systems and authorities. For example, the Miskito representatives expressed their wish to establish some form of coordination between the Honduran judiciary and the justice officials of Miskito territorial councils, so that the councils could decide cases at the community level, in accordance with customary law. C. Lands, natural resources and governance 35. During the colonial era and at the beginning of the republican era, some indigenous peoples obtained communal property rights. A number of Tolupán and Pech communities obtained rights over their ancestral lands in the middle of the nineteenth century. During the course of the twentieth century, some communities obtained title or statutory usufruct and occupation under the agrarian system. Following the indigenous demonstrations of the 1990s, the number of property rights granted to collective indigenous lands increased. According to the data of the National Agrarian Institute, 505 titles were issued to indigenous communities between 1993 and 2015, covering an area of 1,322,774.50 hectares. 36. The property rights granted in the 1990s include those to the Lenca lands in the first indigenous municipality, San Francisco de Opalaca, which was established in 1994, and those to the Tawahka communities in the Tawahka Asangni Biosphere Reserve, set up in 1999 for the protection of the Tawahka people and of biodiversity, which is managed jointly by the Government, the local municipalities and the Tawahka. 12 37. The process of granting title to the Miskito lands began in 2010 under a registration programme financed by the World Bank and implemented by the National Agrarian Institute and the Property Institute. A legislative decree was issued in 2013 to grant a number of Miskito and Garífuna communities within the Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve 12 GE.16-12632 Decree No. 157-99, arts. 2, 5, 12 and 16. 9
