Addressing Land Administration and Land Rights Challenges to Pave the Ground for Peace and Stability in Libya

Building on its long history of collaboration with Libyan institutions in the area of urban development and planning, in early 2021, UN-Habitat started to engage in the land sector with an assessment of the land and conflict nexus, with a focus on housing, land and property (HLP) rights and land management and land administration. In February 2021, at the Second Arab Land Conference, the Libya delegation requested the support of UN-Habitat to address some of the most pressing land related challenges, including the blockage of the registration of land and properties, land markets and the out of control increase of land prices in urban areas, and the establishment of an improved land-based taxation system.

On such basis, the Roundtable on “Addressing Land Administration and Land Rights Challenges to Pave the Ground for Peace and Stability in Libya” (June 2021) brought together land and HLP experts and practitioners from different institutions and disciplines to exchange their experiences and discuss the priorities for action in the Libyan land / HLP sector.
