In this speech, Guttal links the Bandung Conference of 1955—an early symbol of anticolonial, South‐South solidarity—with the more recent UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP, adopted in 2018). She emphasizes how both Bandung and UNDROP are rooted in people’s struggles—especially peasants, rural workers, women, Indigenous peoples—for justice, land rights, food sovereignty, and dignity. The article points out that while Bandung’s ideals were undermined over time by neoliberalism, extractivism, and unequal power dynamics, UNDROP offers a renewed ethical and legal framework to revive those ideals. Guttal argues that implementing UNDROP can help reclaim Bandung’s spirit by ensuring rights, participation, and protections for rural populations in the face of global crises like inequality, climate change, and debt.
