Summary/Abstract: The article considers the intersection between legal pluralism and the international refugee regime in Somaliland. The author claims that UNHCR is reluctant to embrace legal pluralism as a tool of international protection activities. However, the field research shows that the living law should be considered to be the only effective mechanism of dispute resolution in the region, including the majority of all legal cases in the refugee camps administered in the field by the protection cluster system.
