Abstract The history of South Sudan has been marked by persistent conflict, both before and after the country's independence in 2011, which has exacerbated the already complex web of overlapping land claims and unclear land rights. Many South Sudanese people, especially women, lack land tenure security. This report, based on qualitative research implemented in the South Sudanese cities of Torit and Wau in 2021 and 2022, aims to investigate practical interventions for land justice and the dynamics of land justice in South Sudan. To do so, the report focuses on three main topics. First, it provides an overview of <em>land administration</em> in South Sudan. Second, it investigates <em>land-dispute resolution mechanisms</em>, with a particular focus on theCommunity Mediation Groups (CMGs) implemented by the South Sudan Law Society (SSLS).Finally, it discusses <em>women's land rights</em> in South Sudan in customary and statutory systems, the paths available for women to claim their rights, and women's voices and roles in positions of leadership. - Effective Protection of Fundamental Rights in a pluralist world
