Paper presented at the Symposium on Land Administration in Post Conflict Areas, held at Geneva, 29-30 April 2004 (LAPCA, Geneva).
In this presentation is described how the last half century the problems around land have regulated the development of Guatemala, from the revolution in the fifties in the last century, the armed conflict during more then thirty years and after the peace agreements of 1996 the attempts to stabilise the country. An important part of this process of stabilisation is to resolve the problems around land ownership.
