The eight customary areas are the result of the Matignon-Oudinot Agreement signed in 1988. These are special subdivisions parallel to administrative subdivisions. Their operation is set by the Constituional Law of 19 March 1999.
Each Area is represented by a Customary Council, whose duties are defined by Articles 149 to 152 of the Constituional Law of 19 March 1999. The composition of the Council is determined according to the uses specific to the Customary Area. The Customary Council appoints its President and establishes its seat. The Customary Council may be consulted by the Customary Senate on any issue raised by the latter; it can also be, and on all subjects, consulted by the High Commissioner, the Government, the President of a Provincial Assembly or a Mayor; any administrative or judicial authority can also consult it on the interpretation of customary rules.
