This report provides a coherent account of the historical, legal and practical realities of land, reparations and transitional justice in South Sudan. The first section describes the methodology and the demographic distribution of the respondents. A detailed statistical account of the respondents is provided in a table format. The nexus between land, reparations and transitional justice is then described, helping the reader to make sense of the interrelationship between the three areas. The second section of the report analyses the findings according to the different themes that emerge. The report summarises respondents’ perceptions of the root causes of land conflict, pre- and post-2013 land-related issues and driving factors such as the militarisation and politicisation of land and the emerging legal and institutional threats to the resolution of conflict over land. The next section looks at how land is presented in the 2018 R-ARCSS and how the Compensation and Reparations Authority (CRA) is seen as a tool to address land conflict.
