Access to Land and Security of Tenure in the Resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly

The objective of this study is to see to what extent there is a degree of consistency in the UN General Assembly Resolution when the issue of land is considered; on the terms with which it is framed, the values or more general objectives underpinning the discourse on the matter, the subjects that are identified as bearing a stake with regard to it. The second objective is to evaluate whether there is conceptual clarity on the terms that are employed or whether, on the contrary, in different moments and contexts the same terms refer to different meanings. This will also help in evaluating whether the General Assembly’s approach to land matter follows with a linear evolution or whether it is rather characterized by discontinuity.
