NRC I Displacement, HLP and access to civil documentation in the north west of the Syrian Arab Republic Nevertheless, several factors related to the ongoing war suggest that HLP rights may become a significant challenge for security of tenure and for the realisation of the right to return to a previous residence and/ or may create the conditions for disputes in the future: •• In 48 per cent of the cases where IDPs reported having previously been in possession of a tabou, it had been destroyed, lost or left behind, and the same was true in respect of 42 per cent of cases where IDPs reported having previously been in possession of a court decision documenting ownership of their home. This creates a high future risk of undocumented, and hence insecure, property rights if HLP rights are not recorded in government registries or if land registries or court records have been destroyed. •• The current state of respondents’ primary residence was reported to be intact by only 21 per cent of respondents and 41 per cent reported that their home was destroyed or damaged beyond repair. A further 18 per cent reported that their home was damaged with the possibility of repair; and the remaining 20 per cent did not know the state of their primary residence. 4% 15% 15% 44% 22% 22% 11% 25% 18% 24% 19% 10% 24% 47% AL-HASAKEH 22% 9% 30% 28% 11% LATTAKIA 46 HHs ALEPPO 328 HHs IDLEB 21 HHs AR-RAQQA 27 HHs 20% 18% 20% 25% 17% HAMA 76 HHLD DEIR-EZ-ZOR 13 HHs TARTOUS 16% 15% 23% 23% 23% HOMS 41 HHs 5% 15% 49% 7% 24% 20% 20% 60% Top Highest Status Damaged repair possible DAMASCUS 5 HHs RURAL DAMASCUS 22 HHs QUNEITRA DAR'A 18 HHs AS-SWEIDA 17% 44% 39% 5% 27% 50% 13% 5% Damaged repair possible Damaged beyond repair Damaged beyond repair Destroyed Destroyed Intact Intact Don't know Don't know Multiple equal status reported Figure 3: Household status of primary residence by governorate of origin 16 I NRC Assessment Report
