Petition: Strengthen the Human Rights of Peasants

For 15 years, farmers’ unions and social movements have been involved in the process towards the "UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and other People Working in Rural Areas".

The next step for negotiations of the Declaration before the UN Human Rights Council will take place in May 2017. But many European countries are so reluctant to promote advances with the Declaration, that it hampers the process.
