Journal Title: Revista Universitara de Sociologie - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

This study sets oneself goal of focusing the attention of the authorities on the respect and the protection of the rights of autochthones of the urban areas. Indeed, the urbanization of the many countries, such as Ivory Coast, was made by infringing on the rights, especially on the right to collective ownership, on the rights of the natives of the chosen geographical areas. With regard to this historical injustice put the United Nations in 2007 an instrument of the protection of the human rights of the indigenous communities. In spite of this progress of the international law, some people are victim of abuse of power. The example of the Alladjan, natives of Abrogouaman in Abidjan is evocative. The investigations held at the headmen of this locality and at the population, as well as the documentary retrievals revealed that the right to the collective ownership of this people is denied by the authorities of the Ivory Coast. This state of affairs is a break on the improvement of theirs social conditions and a threat to their survival, things which it is important to repair.
