BURMA HLP INITIATIVE

Since its establishment in 2006, Displacement Solutions has been active in exploring the housing, land and property rights situation in Burma. The Burma HLP Initiative

aims to shed new light on the numerous HLP rights issues in Burma today by building capacity for enforcing these rights by citizens of the country.  The Initiative works together with various groups within and outside Burma towards these ends.

PINHEIRO PRINCIPLES INITIATIVE

The 2005 UN Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons – or as they are more widely known – The Pinheiro Principles – are a universally applicable international legal standard designed to protect the rights of refugees and displaced persons everywhere to return to their original homes or, when this is not possible, to receive just and satisfactory compensation adequate to replace their housing, land and property (HLP) losses. The full text of the Pinheiro Principles in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish are available.
