Honduras: Land Rights for Lasting Solutions
An Integrated Approach to Property Protection and Displacement Prevention.
In Honduras, protecting housing, land and property rights is both a preventive measure against forced displacement and a safeguard when displacement occurs. Secure tenure, reliable records and protection against dispossession can reduce the risk of displacement; when people are forced to flee, preserving their ownership and possession rights prevents further loss and supports restitution, recovery or another effective remedy. People must be able to integrate where they have found safety, settle elsewhere in the country or return only when the decision is voluntary, informed, safe and dignified.
