This special report reviews various sources documenting violations of housing and land rights, including gross violations and grave breaches that amount to war crimes and/or crimes against humanity. It provides illustrative examples from monitors on the ground, investigative journalism and the raw material that has emerged from Wikileaks` 2009 release of the Afghan War Diary documents. The paper provides a framework and typology for addressing such violations in the context of conflict, occupation and war, including by prosecuting the responsible parties and providing reparations for their victims.
