In addition, a Protected Area is defined as a land which may fall under the Government Land, customary land, or private land categories, but which must be conserved for the benefit of all Liberians. The Policy will form the basis of a new land rights law, and will require substantial changes to the existing legal framework. Lastly, the Policy development was guided by the following principles: secure land rights, economic growth, equitable benefits, equal access, equal protection, environmental protection, clarity, participation, and evidence-based. Further the document recognizes that women’s land rights are often less protected than those of men, and therefore it aims to give equal protection to the land rights of men and women Texte intégral Anglais
