NEW UN-BACKED GUIDELINES AIM TO PROTECT RIGHTS TO LAND, FISHERIES AND FORESTS

A United Nations-backed committee today endorsed a set of far-reaching global guidelines to help governments protect the rights of people, especially the poor, to own or access land, forests and fisheries.

“Giving poor and vulnerable people secure and equitable rights to access land and other natural resources is a key condition in the fight against hunger and poverty,” said the Director-General of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), José Graziano da Silva.

“It is a historic breakthrough that countries have agreed on these first-ever global land tenure guidelines,” he added. “We now have a shared vision. It’s a starting point that will help improve the often dire situation of the hungry and poor.”

The new Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security was adopted by the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) – the leading global platform for discussions on food security issues – in Rome earlier on Friday.

Among the issues dealt with in the guidelines is the so-called ‘land-grabbing’ phenomenon, according to a news release issued by FAO. It recommends that safeguards be put in place to protect tenure rights of local people from risks that could arise from large-scale land acquisitions, and also to protect human rights, livelihoods, food security and the environment.

The guidelines also address a wide range of other issues such as recognition and protection of legitimate tenure rights, even under informal systems; best practices for registration and transfer of tenure rights; making sure that tenure administrative systems are accessible and affordable; managing expropriations and restitution of land to people who were forcibly evicted in the past; and the rights of indigenous communities.

“Some of the issues addressed by the Voluntary Guidelines go back centuries even. The fact that these guidelines tackle those entrenched issues as well as newer concerns is what makes them so significant,” said Mr. Graziano da Silva.

He added that FAO stands ready to provide support and assistance to countries in adapting and implementing the guidelines. The agency will now develop a series of technical handbooks designed to help countries adapt the guidelines to their local contexts and carry them out, as well as provide targeted technical assistance to governments.

The guidelines are based on a consultation process started by FAO in 2009 and then finalized through CFS-led intergovernmental negotiations that included the participation of government officials, civil society organizations, private sector representatives, international organizations and academics."


In other words, you and I CANNOT be "trusted" with OUR land or resources. Get ready folks, Agenda 21 is getting ready to swing into high gear, and you and I are the victims.

  • This is what the Soviet Union did. They took private property "farmland" and redistributed all of it among the people. From there they took the harvest of the peoples labor and sold it. In return the people got nothing. No money and no food to eat. When they refused to work the farms they were then forced to do so. They either starved to death or murdered for their refusal. Tens of millions died. This is the untold story of communism. This is what the United Nations is proposing. A few at the top will be in control of everything and all people of the world. These people should be taken into custody and tried for actions against humanity.

  • In an earlier article we were asked to submit suggestions of what we would do the bring the Budget into line!  I resonded with several ideas, but I must admit I forgot to list one of the biggest factors that should be instituted to lower our debt and live within our budget and that's to de-fund the UN & NATO, these worthless organizations  do nothing for the improvement of man, woman & child no matter where they are especially here in the U.S.

  • It is the UN that is helping to create poverty. They are not in place to feed the people, they are in place to usher in a NWO, global governance. Until we de-fund and disassemble the UN and NATO, we will continue to loose our sovereignty as a nation.  Clean house in DC then possibly we will stand a chance.

  • This is another socialists tactic. The league of nations didnt work, the UN is even worse. For years now conservatives have been yelling to get out of UN, wheres conservatives in DC. The US either gets vetoed or lied to on all issues. All countries tell U.S. one thing but do another. We The People dont want a one world govt,one world economy,one world bank one world religion. Our great nation fought & died for our freedoms screw you world. DC get out of UN,NATO,G8 G20 now. Send UN packing off of U.S. soil now,no more BS
