15.7
When redistributive reforms are being considered, States may, if so desired, conduct assessments on the potential positive and negative impacts that those reforms could have on tenure rights, food security and the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, livelihoods and the environment. This assessment process should be conducted consistent with the principles of consultation and participation of these Guidelines. Assessments may be used as a basis to determine the measures needed to support beneficiaries and improve the redistributive programme.

Where States choose to implement redistributive reforms, they should ensure that the reforms are consistent with their obligations under
national and international law, and voluntary commitments under applicable regional and international instruments. Reforms should follow
the rule of law and be implemented according to national laws and procedures. States should facilitate the development of consultations,
consistent with the principles of these Guidelines, on the redistribution, including balancing the needs of all parties, and on the approaches to

The financial and other contributions expected of beneficiaries should be reasonable and not leave them with unmanageable debt loads. Those who
give up their tenure rights to land, fisheries and forests should receive equivalent payments without undue delay.
