    Why Land
    Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates ecosystems and communities. It builds democracy, justice, sustainability and resilience.

OBSERVATORIO CIUDADANO

OBSERVATORIO CIUDADANO

Member since: 2018

Working towards these commitments

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations and are based on: the free, prior and informed consent of existing land users; a thorough assessment of economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts with respect to both women and men; democratic planning and independent oversight; and transparent contracts that respect labour rights, comply with social and fiscal obligations and are specific and binding on the sharing of responsibilities and benefits. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.
9

Effective actions against land grabbing

Respect and protect the civil and political rights of human rights defenders working on land issues, combat the stigmatization and criminalisation of peaceful protest and land rights activism, and end impunity for human rights violations, including harassment, threats, violence and political imprisonment
10

Protected land rights defenders

Mission

The Observatorio Ciudadano's mission is to contribute to the social, cultural and institutional transformations of Chile and the Latin American region through the promotion of an active and intercultural citizenship in order to allow the peoples, local communities and individuals to exercise their human rights within a framework of respect.

Objectives

The Organisation objectives are to promote human rights in the country and in the Latin American region, with emphasis on the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities; to document, investigate, denounce and monitor situations of human rights violations that affect the population, and in particular indigenous peoples. Additionally, the organisation provide accompaniment and defend those sectors most affected by the violation of their rights through the use of domestic and international tools for the protection of their human rights. 

Constituencies

Non-governmental organization for the defense, promotion and documentation of human rights.Â
