Protecting the Property Rights of Refugees and Internally Displaced
Persons: Beyond Restitution pursues a rigorous examination of the
various ways in which the protection of housing and property rights
can contribute to durable solutions to displacement. The focus of
most of the international community's recent protection efforts has
been on returning displaced persons to their homes following armed
conflict. However, this focus on return has come at the expense of
considering other possible durable solutions, particularly in cases
of protracted displacement. In this book, Anneke Smit chronicles
the failure of the international community's attempts to promote
widespread return through establishing housing and property
restitution mechanisms. Drawing on a variety of displacement
situations, and referring throughout to international human rights
and refugee law, property law and theory, and sociological and
anthropological literature on displacement and the meaning of
home', she argues that a housing and property policy which supports
integration in the communities where refugees and internally
displaced persons find themselves after conflict is likely to
represent a more effective and sustainable approach than a singular
focus on return. Protecting the Property Rights of Refugees and
Internally Displaced Persons is based on extensive academic
research, including fieldwork, as well as more than a decade of the
author's practical experience working on displacement issues with
government, international organisation and NGO actors. It will be
of considerable interest to those with academic and policy
interests in the rights of refugees and displaced persons.
