The importance of land resources for improving livelihoods in Liberia cannot be overstated. Due to the conflict-sensitivity of land issues, proper land governance is necessary to prevent or mitigate current and future conflicts. This study examined the potential impact of Liberia’s recently enacted land rights law on land dispute incidents. Situations before and after the law went into effect were analyzed using data collected from different institutions and open sources between 2014 and 2021. Areas with a high prevalence of land disputes and the efficacy of the dispute resolution mechanism were also investigated. It was discovered that the introduction of the land law did not translate into reduction for boundary and land grabbing disputes. Cases of these two land disputes increased after the land law went into effect. However, the number of ownership and illegal occupancy disputes decreased after the land rights law was passed. The overall rates of land dispute settlement using the alternative dispute resolution mechanism were not impressive, which could be attributed to the involvement of political actors with multiple interests. The study discovered gaps in information dissemination about the land rights law and recommended that a robust public awareness campaign is initiated to inform people about the law. To achieve success with land dispute resolution, there should be a clearly defined relationship between ADRM and the formal system, ensuring the two are mutually beneficial.  Furthermore, the full operationalization of dispute resolution initiatives must also include the active participation of civil society with specific roles and responsibilities.
