This Note looks at barriers to women's property ownership in property restitution programs in transitional justice settings. It evaluates the existing international legal framework and considers Liberia, Rwanda, Mozambique, and Guatamala as case studies of transitional justice schemes. The author emphasizes that the existing international framework needs to more explicitly recognize the equal right to post-conflict property restitution through a stronger version of the Pinheiro Principles.
