Notes	Clutterbuck cites that although restitution of property should underpin any post-conflict agreement, in Syria this will be a complex exercise. Adherence to the UN's Pinheiro Principles will be critical. The challenges in establishing property rights in any post-conflict Syria will be enormous. The dynamics of the conflict, together with the massive displacement of up to half of the population, have caused Syrians to move and find shelter wherever they can. While post-conflict property restitution is a recognized right under international law, the ongoing uncertainty in Syria means that few Syrians know if, and when, they will be able to reclaim their property. The institution of fair, effective and responsive land and property dispute mechanisms with the power to resolve competing claims and validate transactions, either through courts, administrative agencies or other property restitution mechanisms, will be key to ensuring tenure security and avoiding further conflict. Whatever forum is selected, fairness, impartiality and rigor in weighing competing claims will be central to the credibility of the outcomes.
