À la veille de l'annonce des résultats provisoires de la présidentielle, un des sujets qui inquiètent la population est celui de l'accaparement des terres agricoles par les multinationales. Dix ans après l'affaire Daewoo Logistics, on fait le point avec Mamy Rakotondrainibe, présidente du Collectif pour la Défense des Terres Malgaches, Tany.

This week in Geneva, the Human Rights Council is expected to take a position on the follow-up to a draft Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other Persons Working in Rural Areas. Five years after the start of the negotiations, we are at a turning point.

The Santa Clara de Uchunya community has lived in a remote section of the Peruvian Amazon for generations. Like many indigenous groups, this community of the Shipibo-Konibo people have traditionally managed and relied on forests for hunting, fishing and natural resources.

But in 2014, someone started cutting down large sections of the community’s ancestral forests.

Much of the world’s rural landscapes are technically managed by national governments with limited recognition of, or support for, the rights and management responsibilities of the rural poor who live in these areas. In an era of large-scale land acquisitions for global commodity production, this has led, in some cases, to governments allocating vast tracts of land and resources to companies with limited or no consultation of the people affected.

For hundreds of years, pastoralists in Ethiopia’s lowlands have relied on strong customary land tenure systems to survive. Historically, legislation has failed to clearly define communal rights to rangelands, and the specific roles and responsibilities for both communities and local government to administer and manage these resources. This legislative deficiency prevented pastoral communities from fully exercising their constitutional rights to land (Ethiopia’s Constitution broadly recognizes pastoral communities’ right to access land and prevents their involuntary displacement).

Habitant depuis des temps immémoriaux sur les pentes du Niyamgiri, dans l’état indien d’Odisha, la tribu Dongria Kondh a remporté une victoire qui n’est pas à la portée de tous : bouter la société d’exploitation minière Vedanta Resources hors de ses terres.
