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 Protecting the Displaced written by Sara Ellen Davies and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection has sought contributions from some of the foremost scholars of refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) studies to engage with the conceptual and practical difficulties entailed in realising how the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) can be fulfilled by states and the international community to protect vulnerable persons. Contributors to this book were given one theme: to consider, based on their experience and knowledge, how R2P may be aligned with the protection of the displaced. Contributions explore the history and progress so far in aligning R2P with refugee and IDP protection, as well as examining the conceptual and practical issues that arise when attempting to expand R2P from words into deeds.
Download or read book The Internally Displaced Person in International Law written by Romola Adeola and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the plight of persons displaced within the borders of states has emerged as a global concern, not much attention has been given to this specific category of persons in international legal scholarship. Unlike refugees, internally displaced persons remain within the states in which they are displaced. Current statistics indicate that there are more people displaced within state borders than persons displaced outside states. Romola Adeola examines the protection of the internally displaced person under international law, considering existing legal regimes at various levels of governance and institutional mechanisms for internally displaced persons.
Download or read book Internally Displaced Persons and International Refugee Law written by Bríd Ní Ghráinne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are persons who have been forced to leave their places of residence as a result of armed conflict, violence, human rights violations, or natural or human-made disasters, but who have not crossed an international border. There are about 55 million IDPs in the world today, outnumbering refugees by roughly 2:1. Although IDPs and refugees have similar wants, needs and fears, IDPs have traditionally been seen as a domestic issue, and the international legal and institutional framework of IDP protection is still in its relative infancy. This book explores to what extent the protection of IDPs complements or conflicts with international refugee law. Three questions form the core of the book's analysis: What is the legal and normative relationship between IDPs and refugees? To what extent is an individual's real risk of internal displacement in their country of origin relevant to the qualification and cessation of refugee status? And to what extent is the availability of IDP protection measures an alternative to asylum? It argues that the IDP protection framework does not, as a matter of law, undermine refugee protection. The availability of protection within a country of origin cannot be a substitute for granting refugee status unless it constitutes effective protection from persecution and there is no real risk of refoulement. The book concludes by identifying current and future challenges in the relationship between IDPs and refugees, illustrating the overall impact and importance of the findings of the research, and setting out questions for future research.

This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refugee and Forced Migration Studies has grown from being a concern of a relatively small number of scholars and policy researchers in the 1980s to a global field of interest with thousands of students worldwide studying displacement either from traditional disciplinary perspectives or as a core component of newer programmes across the Humanities and Social and Political Sciences. Today the field encompasses both rigorous academic research which may or may not ultimately inform policy and practice, as well as action-research focused on advocating in favour of refugees' needs and rights. This authoritative Handbook critically evaluates the birth and development of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, and analyses the key contemporary and future challenges faced by academics and practitioners working with and for forcibly displaced populations around the world. The 52 state-of-the-art chapters, written by leading academics, practitioners, and policymakers working in universities, research centres, think tanks, NGOs and international organizations, provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge overview of the key intellectual, political, social and institutional challenges arising from mass displacement in the world today. The chapters vividly illustrate the vibrant and engaging debates that characterize this rapidly expanding field of research and practice.

This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents a systematic review of the role of treaties in international law and seeks to demonstrate that their importance is today somewhat overstated given the extent to which States and other organizations tend to resort to more flexible means of standard-setting in order to promote respect for human rights. As this text demonstrates, the collaboration of various governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental representatives can result in an instrument which may be broader in scope and more progressive in content. If reinforced by suitable implementation measures, it can be even more effective than a treaty in regulating States’ activities. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This CALL Handbook is a compilation of ILE student papers from the DLRO course "Refugees and Displaced Persons in the Operational Environment."The complex and ambiguous nature of today's contemporary operational environment requires leaders of extraordinary skill and ability. Regardless of where the U.S. military conducts operations, the operational environment will often include large groups of displaced populations. Some will be victims of forced migration due to conflict, whereas others may be victims of voluntary migration as a result of difficult humanitarian hardships. Human history, remarkably consistent over time, suggests that U.S. military forces will face difficult challenges in future conflicts, especially in the areas of law, logistics, and security; these difficulties are often exacerbated when dealing with population groups that are displaced and suffering. History has also shown these population groups are especially vulnerable and desperately need the assistance and protection that often eludes them.In recent years, much work has been done in the international arena to address the concerns that displaced populations present, namely under the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Although there is significant legal precedent in how refugees and displaced persons are to be treated, the challenges associated with large numbers of displaced persons have been largely ignored by the U.S. military, and scant doctrine or procedures have been written and shared throughout the profession.To this end, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College has developed an elective course to facilitate increased awareness and understanding of this daunting challenge. The articles that follow are the consolidated efforts of the intermediate level education students who participated in the study. Their essays help define the problems that military commanders and units will face when in operational environments, where displaced persons are a constant, and will help to clarify the nature of the humanitarian crisis that most likely will accompany the displacement phenomena. Understanding the context of the issue is essential for all leaders. This handbook provides keen insight into the military's role in dealing with refugees and displaced persons.

Download or read book The Handbook of Displacement written by Peter Adey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook provides the knowledge and tools needed to understand how displacement is lived, governed, and mediated as an unfolding and grounded process bound up in spatial inequities of power and injustice. The handbook ensures, first, that internal displacements and their everyday (re)occurrences are not overlooked; second, it questions ‘who counts’ by including ‘displaced’ people who are less obviously identifiable and a clearly circumscribed or categorised group; third, it stresses that while displacement suggests mobility, there are also periods and spaces of enforced stillness that are not adequately reflected in the displacement literature; and fourth, it re-evokes and explores the ‘place’ in displacement by critically interrogating peoples’ ‘right to place’ and the significance of placemaking, unmaking, and remaking in the contemporary world. The 50-plus chapters are organised across seven themes designed to further develope interdisciplinary study of the technologies, journeys, traces, governance, more-than-human, representation, and resisting of displacement. Each of these thematic sections begin with an intervention which spotlights actions to creatively and strategically intervene in displacement. The interventions explore myriad meanings and manifestations of displacement and its contestation from the perspective of displaced people, artists, writers, activists, scholar-activists, and scholars involved in practice-oriented research. The Handbook will be an essential companion for academics, students, and practitioners committed to forging solidarity, care, and home in an era of displacement.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A step-by-step reference guide for internally displaced persons and those acting on their behalf, the Guide sets out in accessible format the legal rights that internally displaced persons enjoy, as well as the international mechanisms that have been established to protect those rights. These include regional institutions which have procedures attuned to the particular context of those parts of the world, as well as United Nations mechanisms. What makes this Guide particularly valuable is that, grouped according to the three phases of displacement, it carefully sets out the themes that are particulary relevant to internally displaced persons and illustrates the sources of law for these rights. This sets the groundwork for the Guide's examination of the processes and practical details for engaging the various mechanisms"--Foreword by the Representative of the UN Secretary-General on the Human Rights of IDPs, Walter Kalin.

Book excerpt: This handbook looks at practical guidance on identifying and addressing the differing needs and situations of women, girls, boys and men, about being sensitive to gender issues in humanitarian crises.

This Handbook sets out standards for the integration of gender issues from the outset of a new complex emergency or disaster, so that humanitarian services provided neither exacerbate nor inadvertently put people at risk; reach their target audience; and have maximum positive impact. The Handbook is divided into two sections: A: Fundamental Principles and B: Areas of Work. Section A should be studied by all readers and used in combination with the specific sector chapters in Section B.
