Are targeted rights against land dispossession a paradox? Conceptual and legal dead ends in the defense of the right to land in Meso-America - 2019.

The inclusion in the global market of new agricultural, environmental, energy, infrastructure, and tourism products calls for answers to persistent claims for access to land. These claims are formulated through the production of new rights, charters, conventions, and directives that are supposed to limit land dispossession or to mitigate its effects for various categories of populations (indigenous and/or peasant). Through various examples in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, this article examines the meaning of the selective, targeted measures envisaged, and questions the paradox that lies in stating supposedly universal rights for restricted categories of “targeted” populations, according to criteria with fuzzy contours.
