Here is reason number one why you should care about Agenda 21. UN documents like UNA21/SD do not just appear out of thin air, they develop over a long period of time through numerous conferences and working groups until they are ready to be revealed to the world. In 1976 the First UN Conference on Human Settlements was held in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Vancouver Action Plan was produced by this conference and it is where I found a very startling official position of the UN regarding personal property rights. This official UN position on private property is now a part of the underlying foundation of the UNA21/SD document. “Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlements, cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole.” From the Vancouver Action Plan 1976
