AB - Land rights are uneven in Indonesia as they favor government over citizens as rights subjects.

Despite these three forms of rightlessness, law and legalization are important for ordinary people who experiment and improvise to legalize their claims. And, crucially, such manufacture and persuasion of legality can have the effect of law.
