Land, Property, and the Challenge of Return for Iraq's Displaced
by Deborah Isser, Peter Van der Auweraert
Description
The crisis of displacement in Iraq has created an array
of challenges related to land and property that must
be addressed if return is to be sustainable. This report
analyzes the nature of these land and property issues and
the measures thus far taken by the Iraqi government to
address them. It concludes with recommendations on how
these policies can be improved and broadened to have a
more durable impact.
The report draws on the extensive efforts of both the
United States Institute of Peace and the International
Organization for Migration (IOM) to assist the Iraqi
government in the design of displacement-related land
and property policies, including a July 2008 conference in
Amman sponsored by the Institute and the World Bank
and a November 2008 conference in Baghdad sponsored
by the Institute, IOM, and the Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
