TRIBAL AGREEMENT ON REGULATIONS RELATING TO CORN THEFT (1949)Tribal Agreement • November 26th, 2020
According to tribal customary law, all kinds of theft are in principle allowed if they are committed outside the tribal territory (dīra) against hostile tribes. Actually, under such circumstances, the theft is tantamount to a legitimate raid (ghazw), rather than an offense against property, which entails punishment. Within the tribal territory, the right of property is defended. The owner of the stolen property can demand, through tribal legal proceed- ings, the restitution of his property in kind or, if not available, in monetary compensation in addition to a fine. Moreover, the theft can be punished by corporal punishment, such as cutting off the hand or even the death penalty.1
