Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)	The overall aim of this project is to provide expert support to the negotiations taking place at the Human Rights Council to elaborate a United Nations (UN) Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas. The Geneva Academy has been at the origin of this process - when it supported the work of the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council from 2008 to 2012 - and is now proving legal advice on key issues to be negotiated, such as the recognition, in the UN Declaration, of a right of peasants to seeds. In 2015, the Academy proposes to continue to provide legal analysis and organize an expert seminar on peasants' right to seeds and intellectual property rights with relevant stakeholders.

The project proceeds on the assumption that the rights of peasants and other people working in rural areas will be better promoted and protected when a UN Declaration on these rights will be adopted by the Human Rights Council, and that for that to happen negotiators need to be provided with legal advice and policy space to discuss how existing rights and new rights of peasants and other people working in rural areas can be recognized.
