ABSTRACT
Post-conflict northern Uganda has witnessed an increase in disputes over land. This has, to a
great extent, been as a result of the anned conflict and its aftennath. Beyond that, other chaotic
factors embedded in various social, legal, economic, and political aspects of this society have
influenced the nature, gravity, and dynamics of these disputes and the way in which Traditional
Institutions and the Local Council Courts have attempted to resolve them. Using examples from
field research in Acholiland and an analysis of human lights relating to dispute resolution, this
paper shows the linkages between (I) the chaotic factors in Northern Uganda, (2) the diverse and
unique contestations on land, and (3) the role of Traditional institutions and Local Council
Courts. The paper argues that presses to improve the operation of Local Council Courts and
Traditional institutions may not succeed without simultaneous efforts to do away with the effects
of the effects of the chaotic environment within which they operate.
