9. Action efficace contre l’accaparement des terres
Prévenir et pallier à l’accaparement des terres en respectant les droits traditionnels d’utilisation de la terre et de moyens de subsistance locaux, et en veillant à ce que toutes les initiatives à grande échelle qui impliquent l’utilisation de la terre, de l’eau et des autres ressources naturelles soient conformes aux droits humains et aux obligations environnementales et fondées sur : le consentement libre, informé et préalable des utilisateurs de la terre; une évaluation approfondie des impacts économiques, sociaux, culturels et environnementaux sur les femmes et les hommes; une planification démocratique et un contrôle indépendant; et la signature de contrats transparents spécifiques respectant le droit du travail, qui soient conformes aux obligations sociales et fiscales, et ayant force exécutoire sur le partage des responsabilités et des bénéfices. Dans le cas où des droits fonciers légitimes ont été reconnus mais bafoués, les acteurs impliqués devront proposer et coopérer à la mise en œuvre de mécanismes efficaces et impartiaux pour remédier aux violations ayant eu lieu, notamment par la restitution de terres et l’indemnisation.

Global Policy
During the Assembly of Members in Tirana in 2011, ILC members defined the first widely-used definition of land grabbing. By clearly defining the term, ILC members were not only able to collectively denounce land-grabbing but also to begin to work together systematically to prevent it, as well as to open spaces for constructive debates on what investments should instead be doing so as to create opportunity for real and meaningful local benefit.
In order to explore how to best support ILC members' collaborative efforts to prevent land grabbing, ILC will follow a staged approach to build on existing initiatives and learn from them, with a strong focus on involving interested members in defining the way forward here. There is interest from members in a facility on land and investment that would support rural communities to interact with the corporate sector, participate in due diligence exercises related to land-based investment, participate in learning exchanges and get exposure to national and international grievance mechanisms
ILC will adapt to the interest and demands of members to find the best possible way to facilitating members' collaboration under this area.
