Abstract

This paper charts evolving government policies towards property ownership in Libya, considers justice seeking by claimants who have been affected by Libya’s Law 4/1978 on Real Property, and the regimes of property ownership proposed by the state when attempting to intervene in these disputes both prior to and in the aftermath of the 2011 Revolution. It also considers what leeway current political realities allow to formulate policy to deal with the aftermath of Law 4, before making some recommendations.
