The document titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Land Rights and Displacement in Juba, South Sudan" is a paper authored by David K. Deng in February 2016. It provides an in-depth examination of land rights and displacement issues in Juba, South Sudan, in the aftermath of the violence that erupted in December 2013. The paper discusses the legal and regulatory framework, displacement, and urban land disputes that have arisen due to the crisis. It also highlights challenges such as the loss of documentation, urban rezoning, and the mechanisms for dispute resolution. Furthermore, it offers recommendations to ensure the protection of land rights and sustainable resettlement for displaced populations. These recommendations address governance, institutional capacity, and women's rights, all of which are crucial aspects of land governance and tenure security.
