Produktbeschreibung
Over the years, powerful transnational and national economic actors from corporations to national governments have "grabbed" land often in distant countries due to the convergence of the global food crisis, energy, finance, and environmental concerns. In Africa, this phenomenon directly affected communities like the Bakweris in Cameroon and the Endorois in Kenya. The claims made by these communities both at the national and regional levels under the umbrella of indigenous peoples' right over land uncovered serious shortcomings. This book presents the legal and institutional mechanisms that protect indigenous peoples' right over land under the African Charter, analyses the Charter's weaknesses, and the impact of political will at the national and regional levels.The book concludes by proposing a series of recommendations aimed at reinforcing the protection of these rights.It would be particularly useful to policy makers, lawyers and scholars who may be carrying out research on a related topic or any economic actor who is considering a largescale (trans) national commercial land transaction in Africa.
