Abstract
AbstractLand and property rights are fundamental to finding durable solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs). While international instruments such as the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (Kampala Convention) provide for the protection of land and property rights of IDPs, such instruments require domestication before they acquire the status of national legislation in Zimbabwe. This chapter explores the protection of land and property rights of IDPs in Zimbabwe. It is argued that while there is no national legal framework specifically recognising and providing for the protection and assistance of IDPs, the 2013 Constitution articulates a Bill of Rights that protects the basic rights of IDPs. This chapter reviews the constitutional land and property rights framework from an IDPs’ perspective.KeywordsInternally displaced personsInternal displacementLand and property rightsRestitutionZimbabwe
