Land rights

With globalization and colonization taking over almost the entire known world, native tribes who are indigenous to their lands are losing control of the lands that their people have lived in for ages to the hands of foreign colonizers who claim the land as their own. Now, indigenous people all around the world are struggling to reclaim the lands and rights that were taken away from them through non-violent social relations with national governments and large corporations.

chose for our assigned is ‘property rights’. The property rights we will review are the intellectual property, industrial property, copyrights and property rights are human rights. This is of great interest to me with anything to do with property rights as they are, “arguably property rights are the foundations of all human rights.” (Wilson, T. 2015). There are so many laws that govern protecting the inventor, from the timeframe, to who has ownership of those rights. We are finding as our world becomes

In recent times, the issue of land rights, livelihoods and participatory development has been emphasized as a key justification for the application of the ‘rights-based’ approach to development in many developing regions.

These sales are made possible by the chief executives of these countries who are all too willing to give up chunks of land for sums of money offered by these rich corporations and investors. However, with these deals come some major issues. On top of the replacement of small subsistence farmlands by large-scale cash crop farms or businesses, the rights of locals

The Aboriginal Land Rights Act of 1976, which was passed in December 1976, legally recognized land ownership by Aboriginal people. Recognizing the importance of land to their cultural identity, the Australian government, through this law, effectively provided land for Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory.

Another issue happened in 1953 in related with land right which is Britain government announcement of atomic tests on Anangu people’s land which has been called Maralinga.
