The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HIIL) and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) are delighted to announce a new collaboration for complementary LAND-at-scale activities in Iraq. Activities focus on justice innovation and support: by scouting, vetting, selecting and supporting promising local and existing justice initiatives in Northern Iraq, HIIL aims to strengthen the localization of justice solutions for Iraqi people.

During the Annual Conference hosted by the Knowledge Platform Security and Rule of Law (KPSRL), the LAND-at-scale knowledge management organised a session exploring how land registration might impact relations between local governments and the populations they are expected to serve. Land registration interventions today often follow a path of decentralisation in which local land offices are tasked with additional responsibilities, or new entities are being created. These local offices give local authorities an important role in land mapping, registration, administration and adjudication.

En septiembre de 2022, Sierra Leona promulgó nuevas leyes sin precedentes relacionadas con la tierra, el clima y el desarrollo sostenible: la Ley de Derechos Consuetudinarios sobre la Tierra de 2022 y la Ley de la Comisión Nacional de Tierras de 2022. El seminario web se centró en la Ley de Derechos Consuetudinarios sobre la Tierra de 2022 y en su poder transformador para ayudar a las comunidades a proteger sus derechos sobre la tierra y perseguir el desarrollo sostenible. 

Submission Deadline: All manuscripts should be submitted for consideration by December 31, 2021.

The global environmental crisis is intertwined with the crisis of social and economic inequality. From coal plants to palm oil plantations, economic activities that threaten the planet are concentrated in communities with less power and wealth. “You can’t have climate change without sacrifice zones,” writes Hop Hopkins, “and you can’t have sacrifice zones without disposable people.”1
