A review of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples may be relevant to this study in terms of how land grabbing violates the rights of people whose land is taken away. The guiding principles prepared by the International Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ICARRD) in 2006 and the recommendations made by International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) may also be considered (www.grain.org, 2010).
