Abstract

Managing Land Conflict in Timor-Leste, the latest briefing from the International Crisis Group, examines the country's current tangle of land ownership claims, and recommends that the government and its partners act now to supplement titling with clear public information, clarify protections for those who will be evicted or resettled, and strengthen support to local mediation.
