Land grabbing in Papua New Guinea Accaparement des terres en Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée
Communication dans le cadre du 5e Forum Mondial des Droits de l'Homme et de l’atelier du programme Lascaux "Le droit et l’accaparement des terres dans les pays du Sud", à Nantes le 23 mai 2013 In Papua New Guinea, 97 % of the grounds are subjected to the common law, and belong to the thousands of clans and tribes which constitute the population of this country. This remarkable situation has known major changes since 2009. In three years, 5.5 million hectares, which is more than 10 % of the terrestrial mass of the country, were yielded via concessions to (mainly foreign) companies.
