Abstract

This analysis from Forest Peoples Programme and RRI concludes that forest tenure reforms must take into account a wide range of human rights beyond solely security of property rights. Effective forest tenure reforms must include respect for the broad range of social, political and economic rights protected in international human rights treaties but frequently absent from narrow sectoral decision-making about forests.
