There is a very specific correlation between land and conflict; they meet each other on every
point of the cycle of the armed conflict and in the post-conflict period. Although land was
identified as a critical gap in international response capacities and the awareness about the
vital importance of addressing the housing land and property issues within the context of postconflict
peace building has increased, experiences show that there are only a few cases where
land issues were addressed in the post-conflict period, and humanitarian organizations in this
period mainly focus on internally displaced persons and refugee’s related issues, and
restitution of the situation as it was before the conflict.
