The Existence and Legal Mechanisms of the Protection of Congolese Customary Land Law

Tshizena Tshinate Celine

Abstract: In this article, we know the evolution of customary Congolese land law from colonial times to the present day. We found that in relation to the colonial laws regulating the so-called land sector, indigenous lands, current laws, or more specifically, the land law has seen real improvements especially in the protection of customary land rights. Indeed, the protection of this right is deduced by the enjoyment granted to the indigenous communities on the lands they exploit for their survival.
