The Declaration on the Rights of Peasants (UNDROP; full title: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas) is an UNGA resolution on human rights with "universal understanding", adopted by the United Nations in 2018.[1] The resolution was passed by a vote of 121-8, with 54 members abstaining.

The Declaration lays down a series of rights for peasants, and has often been seen as complementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
