Land Rights Issues in International Human Rights Law (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the significance of land rights within the framework of international human rights law, highlighting the critical nexus between land access and fundamental human rights such as housing, food security, and overall well-being. It emphasizes that a significant proportion of the global population remains landless, exacerbating conditions of poverty and social inequality. The absence of a codified right to land in international law creates challenges, and the paper advocates for recognizing land rights as essential for promoting a broader range of human rights.
