International Instruments on Peasants’ Rights
The UN Declaration on the rights of peasants and other people working in rural areas (UNDROP) has been adopted to protect the rights of some of the most marginalised people in the world, who together represent around two billion people: peasants, landless people, people living from traditional fishing, herding, and hunting activities, and rural workers. The UNDROP is based on a number of international instruments, including (1) international human rights instruments, (2) the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Protocols, and (3) the Plant Treaty.
