Decreto 107 2026

Garífuna communities in Honduras launched sustained protests on July 15, demanding the government annul trials against five territorial defenders and repeal Decree 107-2026, which authorized the first eviction from ancestral lands in San Juan, Tela on July 5.

Indigenous representatives in La Moskitia say a newly approved agroindustrial law will legitimize illegal occupation of their ancestral territories and accelerate forest destruction, and they are demanding enforcement of a six-year-pending land survey.

Rural, indigenous, and human-rights organizations filed a constitutional challenge seeking to suspend Decree 107-2026, which they say enables land seizures and strips protections from campesino and indigenous communities to shield agribusiness, energy, tourism, and ranching projects.
