This latest HLRN contribution to the discourse on the global
habitat comes in the form of HLRN`s annual report from its
Violation Database (VDB) in October 2024. It focuses on the
violations of habitat-related human rights affecting land in 20
country contexts. The analysis demonstrates how land is subject
to destruction through contamination and degradation,
dispossession of other deprivation of land rights, and captures
how perpetrators deny legitimate tenure holders their rights to
equitable and sustainable access to, use of, and control over
their land.
This year’s annual study highlights entries in the VDB between
2014 and 2024 that quantify the area of land at stake,
classifies the corresponding violations by established VDB
criteria, and quantifies their spatial extent. This detailed
snapshot of land rights violations o an global scale clarifies
the nature of ongoing trends to deny land rights that otherwise
could be used for social production of habitat by their rightful
tenure holders.
