That's naively idealistic. In unstable political environments when someone with power and weapons wants your property he'll just take it. No one cares about "truth". And they can use threats of violence or imprisonment to force people to update any property registry to their liking.

Of course de Soto Polar's vision isn't all-powerful but it is worth looking into just the same.
Here's his website: https://www.desoto.com/
And from one of many many articles:
"In the late 1980s and early 90s, de Soto played a key role in ending the Peruvian Terrorist group Shining Path’s violence by getting the Peruvian government to recognize poor property owners’ land deeds."
