obligations related to ensuring respect for the rights of refugees in the country, reports aver that refugees involved in economic activities face intimidation from immigration or customs officers. Land Rights 38. The Commission welcomes the first Liberian Land Rights Policy of 2013, which clearly defines the various categories of land and the accompanying rights and responsibilities, but is concerned with reports of increasing land and property disputes which have given rise to confrontation between different ethnic groups, especially following the civil war.
