Welcome

Tens of millions of displaced people are currently unable to return to their original homes. Forced to flee their homes by a variety of circumstances beyond their control – ranging from armed conflict and severe human rights abuses to environmental crises and natural disasters – the overwhelming majority of the world’s displaced people would happily return to their original homes if given the chance to do so.

Displacement Solutions believes that addressing housing, land and property (HLP) restitution rights is one of the keys to solving displacement, and that even the most intractable situations of long-term displacement can be resolved in a just and sustainable manner. With innovative, rights-based analysis and remedial measures, displaced persons everywhere can be practically assisted to return and reclaim their homes, receive adequate compensation or be resettled in ways fully consistent with their human rights.

Displacement Solutions develops practical HLP rights-based strategies designed to assist in resolving situations of displacement.

Displacement Solutions provides expert and results-driven legal and policy advisory services in the following areas:

Displacement Solutions maintains the world’s only HLP Expert Registry which contains over 100 highly-skilled HLP rights experts who can be deployed at short-notice to conflict, post-conflict and post-disaster situations to find viable and creative solutions to displacement.
