The United Nations Wants to Take Your Land!
"Private land ownership ... contributes to social injustice.... Public control of land use is therefore indispensable."
- United Nations "Habitat I" Conference Report, 1976
Private land ownership in some countries rests in the hands of a tiny elite, leaving 99% of the population with no opportunity to own land. This sort of situation, common in many countries, contributes to social injustice and political instability. At times these nations engage in land redistribution schemes but the benificiaries of these plans are ill-equipped to manage the land on their own. In this instance, temporary public control of land use is indespensible.
Whoever wrote this should have used the whole quote. I'm no lover of the UN, but proponents of UN disbanding should be honest.
