Claim: On 7 September 1987, Nicaragua's Statute of Autonomy (Law 28), published 30 October 1987, created the North and South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Regions by dividing the former Zelaya Department, establishing a modern self-government framework recognising the historical rights of the Caribbean Coast's indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant communities and ethnic communities, distinct from the historical Miskito Kingdom/Mosquito Reserve arrangement that ended in 1894.
