land restitution

Land restitution is the process of returning land or property to its original owners or their heirs after it has been taken, usually through unfair or illegal means such as colonization, forced removals, or government expropriation. This legal process seeks to restore property rights and provide fair compensation or renewal of ownership rights to those who lost their land due to past injustices. Restitution aims to address historical wrongs, promote justice, and help affected communities rebuild their lives and heritage.
