Relevant legislation includes laws and international conventions, but is not limited to: regulations governing land tenure and land-use rights, labour, agricultural practices, environment, transportation and processing practices, acting with integrity. A list of relevant international conventions is included in Appendix 2. The more strict regulation or ratified convention - national or international - should prevail unless otherwise specified. The other criteria and indicators in this standard provide some guidance for defining the relevant laws.

Those rights can be related either to legal ownership or lease of the land or to customary rights. Legal ownership shall be the official title in the country (e.g. notary, government agency or other). Guidance for customary rights is provided in ILO conventions 169 and 117.See also Criterion on participation and Criterion on Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 5.7.
