Download or read book FOREIGN AFFAIRS Internally Displaced Persons Lack Effective Protection written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internally displaced persons--those forced to flee their homes because of armed conflict and persecution but who remain within their own country are among the most at-risk, vulnerable populations in the world. They typically differ from refugees only by the fact that they have not crossed an international border as refugees have. Governments are responsible for protecting and aiding their own citizens; however, some cannot do so or actively persecute groups of their citizens, thus creating a displacement crisis. When this happens, international organizations, such as the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Committee for the Red Cross, acting in response to international humanitarian and human rights law help protect and assist the estimated 20 million internally displaced persons in over 50 countries. The charters of these organizations, and their governing bodies,1 acknowledge the sovereignty of each state to deal with internally displaced persons as an internal matter but also recognize the obligation of international organizations to help address humanitarian and human rights crises.
Download or read book The International Protection of Internally Displaced Persons written by Catherine Phuong and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-27 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that there are up to 25 million internally displaced persons around the world, their plight is still little known. Like refugees, internally displaced persons have been forced to leave their homes because of war and human rights abuses, but they have not left their country. This has major consequences in terms of the protection available to them. This 2005 book aims to offer a clear and easily accessible overview of this important humanitarian and human rights challenge. In contrast with other books on the topic, it provides an objective evaluation of UN efforts to protect the internally displaced. It will be of interest to all those involved with the internally displaced, as well as anyone seeking to gain an overall understanding of this complex issue.

Download or read book Use of Special Presidential Authorities for Foreign Assistance written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the use of special presidential authorities to: (1) provide Department of Defense equipment and services to foreign governments in an emergency (waiver authority); (2) transfer foreign assistance funds between program accounts (transfer authority); (3) waive provisions of foreign assistance legislation (waiver authority); (4) provide Economic Support Fund assistance to West Germany, including West Berlin (Berlin authority); and (5) withhold information pertaining to foreign-assistance-related actions and their funding sources (cloaking authority). GAO found that: (1) the Department of State and the Agency for International Development (AID) are responsible for administering the process to determine when the special authorities should be used; and (2) in some instances, the division of authority and responsibility between State and AID has led to uncertainty about the extent of use of the authorities and to the provision of erroneous information to Congress. GAO also found that: (1) the drawdown authority has been invoked 12 times for total expenditures of $862.1 million to provide a variety of military equipment to six countries; (2) interpretation of the drawdown authority has varied by situation and by administration; (3) while drawdowns have been reimbursed by specific appropriations in the past, drawdown reimbursements have not been made since 1979; (4) the transfer authority has been used at least 31 times for total transfers of $443.4 million between various foreign assistance program accounts; (5) the waiver authority has been used 117 times to authorize almost $1.6 billion in assistance, mostly to respond to emergencies, unforeseen events, or in situations where formal assistance was not possible; and (6) the executive branch has disclosed three instances of the use of the cloaking authority. In addition, GAO found that the Berlin authority has not been used since 1961 and its potential for future use has been overtaken by the economic recovery of West Germany and the potential use of the waiver authority.
