Returnees are particularly affected, with 71 percent living in damaged homes, heightening risks of eviction and renewed displacement. Women face compounded barriers due to social norms, weak inheritance enforcement, and lack of legal awareness. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026\u20132027 strategy is built on five pillars including strengthening HLP due diligence and tenure verification across humanitarian work; supporting restitution and transitional justice efforts; monitoring violations to inform advocacy; resolving disputes linked to return and relocation; and reinforcing land administration and legal reform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group will also feed verified analysis into national bodies such as the National Commission for Transitional Justice and the National Commission for the Missing, while promoting data protection and \u201cDo No Harm\u201d standards. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Positioned at the intersection of emergency response and early recovery, the HLP TWG said safeguarding property rights is essential not only for humanitarian protection, but for social cohesion, reconciliation, and long-term peacebuilding in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 A coalition of humanitarian and UN agencies unveiled on Wednesday a new two-year strategy to tackle Syria\u2019s deepening housing, land and property (HLP) crisis, warning that unresolved ownership disputes and tenure insecurity remain major barriers to safe return and recovery.
