Solomon Islands’ legal system
• Influence of kastom (custom), Christianity and
the state
– Immense variation in kastom due to cultural diversity
– Variation in Christianity, particularly across
denominations
• 85% of land is customary land, held according to
“current customary usage”
• Remaining land is freehold land or public land

Recommendations
• Improved legal literacy
• Improved information dissemination
(ie. of acquisition hearings,
distribution of royalties)
• Improved knowledge of kastom
(custom)
• Separate hearings for a range of
groups (ie chiefs, ‘other men’,
women…)
• Encourage (mandate?) women
trustees (particularly in matrilineal
systems)
