Thirty-five delegates from twenty-five Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and community leaders working with conflict-induced displaced communities joined together for a workshop on “Fulfilling the Right to Land Restitution for Displaced Communities” from 6-7 of June 2016 followed by a public forum on the 8 of June in Yangon.
The workshop aimed to create a space to advocate for the restoration of housing, land and property rights of communities displaced by conflict. Delegates discussed key principles and priorities related to customary land use practices and tenure systems and international human rights standards including issues related to the return and resettlement for communities displaced by conflict across the country.
