Extract: "These policy notes form part of an Australian Research Council project - Waiting for Law: Land, Custom and Legal Regulation in Timor Leste. The notes are based on more than 3 years' fieldwork in selected areas of Timor Leste. They aim to describe the current state of customary land systems and contribute to policy debates on recognising and regulating customary land authority."
