A/HRC/39/67 contexts, States may consider allocation of public land, voluntary and market based mechanisms as well as expropriation of private land, fisheries or forests for a public purpose. In such cases, States are invited to refer to chapter 15 of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure. States shall carry out redistributive agrarian reforms where there is lack of broad and equitable access to land and other natural resources necessary to ensure that peasants and other people working in rural areas enjoy adequate living conditions, particularly young people and landless persons. Redistributive reforms must guarantee equal access of men and women to land, fisheries and forests, and shall limit excessive concentration and control of land taking into account its social function. Landless peasants, young people, small-scale fishers and other rural workers should be given priority in the allocation of public lands, fisheries and forests. 7.8 States shall take measures aimed at the conservation and sustainable use of land and other natural resources used in their production and necessary for the enjoyment of adequate living conditions, including through agroecology, and ensure the conditions for the regeneration of biological and other natural capacities and cycles. South Africa 6. South Africa proposes that the right to land should not be limited to adequate living condition but be seen as an important component to the full enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms Switzerland Mon pays souhaiterait, à l’instar de notre commentaire pour l’article 5, proposer la fusion des articles 5 et 17. Concernant le paragraphe 6, la Suisse souhaite faire le commentaire suivant: Il faudrait exiger que l’expropriation formelle, en tant qu’interférence avec une position juridique protégée, ne soit permise que s’il existe une base juridique suffisante, une loi au sens formel. De même, il devrait être exigé que la compensation soit fournie au moins sur la base de critères tels que «juste et équitable». Finalement, à la fin du paragraphe 7, la Suisse aimerait proposer de remplacer les mots «ressources biologiques et des autres capacités et cycles naturels» par le mot «écosystèmes». Alors la fin du paragraphe 7 se lirait de la manière suivante: «les conditions que nécessite la régénération des écosystèmes». Christophe Golay “natural commons” in article 17.3 of the UN Declaration should be translated in the French version as “les communs naturels”. In the current French version, it reads “les ressources naturelles communes”, which is not the same. To support that request, you can find “commons” translated by “communs” in the Voluntary Guideline 8.3 on the governance of tenure. Article 18 EU Title: Right Access to a safe, clean and healthy environment 1. Peasants and other people persons working in rural areas have the right to the conservation and protection of the environment and the productive capacity of their lands, and of the resources that they use, manage and control. 2. States shall take appropriate measures to ensure that peasants and other people persons working in rural areas enjoy, without discrimination, a safe, clean and healthy environment, including its biodiversity and ecosystems. 42
