Respecting rights of small-scale farming workers

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.

Agenda 21 recommends recognizing the rights of small-scale fishworkers and the special situation of indigenous people and local communities, including their rights to utilization and protection of their habitat on a sustainable basis.
