Land grabbing – wyzwanie dla międzynarodowej ochrony praw człowieka i zrównoważonego środowiska wiejskiego
Land grabbing – a challenge to the international protection of human rights and sustainable rural environment

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study is the takeover by institutions with significant means of large tracts of fertile land for intensive cultivation of monocultures, which is accompanied by other disturbing phenomena. This is becoming a serious problem for many countries, especially developing ones. Therefore, the purpose of this analysis is to present a problem that concerns important international legal as well as organizational and institutional issues. The analysis is based mainly on relevant documents of international importance. These documents refer to human rights, property, the existence of local communities and indigenous people and the closely related destructive effects of environmental impact. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is only now becoming noticeable. These effects hit mainly rural communities. The analysis shows that there is a need for organizational and legal support for small land users, and traditional local and rural communities. They protect their cultural and social heritage as well as local biodiversity by taking care of themselves.
