ABSTRACT: Congolese, Burundian, and Rwandan land rights are autonomous rights of
sovereign states. Their integration into a regional community is the free will
of states wishing to work together towards a common goal. This is the case for
these three countries, which have voluntarily agreed to join sub-regional organizations
such as the Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL) and the
East African Community (EAC). How can these legal systems be made more integral
to the growth of private community investment in member countries? Through the
use of legal and comparative methods, supported by documentary and interview
techniques, we have arrived at mechanisms that are more attractive to investors
and more integrationist of these three legal systems in these two sub-regional organizations: “CEPGL” and
“EAC”.
