Land that (resettled) individuals, families, or communities can legally occupy, where they are protected from the risk of eviction and where the tenure rights provided to them are socially and culturally appropriate. In no event will resettled people be provided tenure rights that are in effect weaker than the rights they had to the land or assets from which they have been displaced.
Women, youth, and other vulnerable groups with customary or subsidiary land rights tend to have weaker security of tenure.
