This manual looks into how the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants can be used to protect the right to land.
It guides you through the basics:
- What does the right to land mean and what are states’ committed to?
- How are women’s land rights enshrined in UNDROP?
- What about other rights relevant to protect the right to land?
- How does UNDROP complement other international instruments?
This manual is meant to be a guide for ILC members and the broader land community on how we can ensure the implementation of UNDROP, it is also a tool to ensure the right to land is present in strategies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the UN Decade of Family Farming.
You will also find key messages and recommendations that can be used in your advocacy efforts!
A right to land and UNDROP: A Manual
How can we use the UN Declaration on the rights of peasants to protect the right to land?
WHAT IS UNDROP?
UNDROP was adopted to protect the rights of some of the most marginalised two billion people around the world and help rebalance power relations for those living in rural areas. They are the first to be impacted by poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, forced evictions and displacements, and criminalisation.
