Combate a grilagem de terras na Amazônia: o papel do Poder Judiciário
This report by the Climate Policy Initiative/PUC-Rio examines the role of the Brazilian Judiciary in combating land grabbing (grilagem) in the Amazon. It analyzes the Judiciary's dual function: the administrative oversight of land registries (cartórios) and the jurisdictional resolution of land disputes. Using Pará as a primary case study, the report highlights the effectiveness of administrative cancellations of fraudulent titles but warns against a 'civilist' view of possession that can legitimize illegal occupations of public lands. It also explores strategic litigation, including climate damage claims and the protection of traditional communities' collective land rights.
