The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 55
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Like the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Protocol on the Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons, the Kampala Convention pays particular attention - in its article 4 (5) - to this widespread phenomenon, obliging States parties to endeavour to protect communities with special attachment to and dependency on land owing to their particular culture and spiritual values. Any projects with an impact on the right of pastoralists to use land have to be justified by compelling and overriding public interest. The threshold that public interest must reach is therefore higher owing to the ancestral and spiritual attachment that pastoralists have with the land.
