text: "Land is the key to tackling the housing crisis facing third world cities. The lack of cheap, legal housing plots means that most new housing today is built in illegal shanty towns. If city governments provide such plots, they could slow the rapid growth of these shanty towns and ease the pressure in crowded city slums." 13/ 127. ILO Convention 169 on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples addresses land rights in a detailed manner. Some of the more important points included in articles 13-19 concern: "14. The right of ownership and possession of the peoples concerned over the lands they traditionally occupy shall be recognized ...; "15. The rights of the peoples concerned to the natural resources pertaining to their lands shall be specially safeguarded ...; "16 (1) Subject to the following paragraphs of this Article, the peoples concerned shall not be removed from the lands which they occupy ...; "19. National agrarian reform programmes shall secure to the peoples concerned treatment equivalent to that accorded to other sectors of the population with regard to: (a) the provision of more land for these peoples when they have not the area necessary for providing the essentials of a normal existence, or for any possible increase in their numbers; and (b) the provision of the means required to promote the development of the lands which these peoples already possess." 128. Neither the right to property nor the right to land are foimd within the two Covenants. The only component of the International Bill of Rights which mentions either issue is the Universal Declaration, in the much quoted article 17. It provides that: "1. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. 2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property".
analysis: The text discusses the issue of land ownership and its relation to the housing crisis in third world cities. It highlights the importance of providing cheap, legal housing plots to slow the growth of shanty towns and ease the pressure in crowded city slums. The text also references international conventions and human rights, specifically focusing on the rights of indigenous peoples to land and natural resources. This suggests that the category should be related to human rights, land ownership, and development.
