As inscribed in the Act establishing the Land Commission, one of the duties and functions is to promote "prompt and fair resolution of conflicts over land." Even though the Commission itself does not have an adjudicatory or implementation role, notwithstanding, the Commission has the mandate to initiate activities that facilitate the settlement of land conflicts in such a manner that will promote "equitable and productive access to the nation's land, both public and private;" "security of tenure in land and the rule of law with respect to landholding and dealings in land;" "effective land administration and management;" and "investment in and development of the nation's natural resources."
