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.

Book Synopsis The Refugee in International Law by : Guy S. Goodwin-Gill
Download or read book The Refugee in International Law written by Guy S. Goodwin-Gill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-22 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people today are forced to flee their homes as a result of conflict, systemic discrimination, persecution, and other violations of their human rights. The core instruments on which they must rely to secure international protection are the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, now complemented by international and regional human rights treaties. This book, the leading text in a field where refugee law is now a subject of global importance, examines key challenges to system of international protection, including those arising from within the asylum process, increased controls over the movements of people, and the 'new' concern with security. The situation of refugees is one of the most pressing and urgent problems facing the international community and refugee law has grown in recent years to a subject of global importance. In this long-awaited third edition, each chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated, every issue, old and new, has received fresh analysis, and 'complementary' or human rights-based protection is given special attention. Features include: analysis and assessment of developments in interpreting the refugee definition, with particular reference to 'social group', 'exclusion', procedures, and the impact of European Union harmonization initiatives. In addition, this book reviews the situation of refugee women and children; the plight of Palestinian refugees; the protection of internally displaced persons; the role and responsibilities of the UNHCR, including in the administration of camps and settlements; the current status in general international law of the fundamental principles of non-refoulement, asylum, and the right to seek asylum; and the extent of protection possibilities in human rights treaties, particularly the European Convention on Human Rights.
Book Synopsis Internal Displacement and the Law by : Walter Kälin
Download or read book Internal Displacement and the Law written by Walter Kälin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world faces more than 60 million people displaced by armed conflict and disasters as of 2022. Climate change is set to trigger large-scale displacement in the future. Internal Displacement and the Law discusses to what extent the present law can contribute to preventing, responding to, and resolving internal displacement and protecting the rights of these internally displaced persons (IDPs). It also identifies its weaknesses and examines ways to improve action. The book's analysis reflects the realities of internal displacement and the challenges faced by displaced individuals and communities, their hosts, governments, and international actors. Assessing the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Kampala Convention on the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa, this enlightening volume investigates the relevance of international human rights and humanitarian law to the problem of displacement with an eye toward durable solutions. In line with its human rights approach, this work promotes a narrative that, based on the concept of sovereignty as responsibility, emphasizes the primary responsibility of states to address the needs of IDPs and views them as citizens with rights and agency rather than as vulnerable beneficiaries of humanitarian action. The author concludes that the body of relevant law amounts to an emerging legal regime on internal displacement whose substantive norms are largely adequate, but which faces specific institutional challenges at domestic and international levels that weaken efforts to address the plight of IDPs.
Book Synopsis Internally Displaced Persons and International Refugee Law by : Bríd Ní Ghráinne
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 2022-03-15 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.
Book Synopsis Internal Displacement Law and Policy by : Gouda Bushra Ali Gouda
Download or read book Internal Displacement Law and Policy written by Gouda Bushra Ali Gouda and published by Vandeplas Pub.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internal displacement is one of the tragic challenges the international community has encountered since the early 1980s. Every day 10,000 persons are forced to flee their homes primarily because of internal armed conflicts. It is believed that one in every 130 persons in the world is forced into flight resulting both in internal and external displacement. They indeed suffer massive human rights violations and persecutions. Regrettably, the international community has not yet developed an adequate international legal framework to address this gut-wrenching phenomenon. This book comprehensively articulates the law applicable to the problem of internal displacement and provides a thorough analysis of the legal norms applicable to this problem. Examination of the law, policy and jurisprudence applicable to this problem is the focal point of this book. The book basically integrates the human rights law as applied to internally displaced persons with humanitarian law and the international system of protection norms from other areas of international law. The development of this law nationally is also discussed in this book; model of laws that have been enacted to deal with this problem are included, as well as stimulating intellectual discussion about jurisprudential issues relating to this law. The book also addresses ways to proceed forward with the law of internal displacement. About the author: Gouda Bushra Ali Gouda is a Doctor of International Legal Studies with special emphasis on Public International Law, Human Rights law, Intellectual Property and International politics. He obtained his first law degree from Khartoum University, Sudan, and then obtained a LL.M degree from Indiana University, Indianapolis, and SJD in International Legal Studies from Golden Gate University, San Francisco, California with distinction for his research in the subject of Internal Displacement. He currently works on various research projects including other areas of International Law; namely International Intellectual Property and Law and Democracy in Africa.
Book Synopsis Armed Conflict and Forcible Displacement by : Elena Katselli Proukaki
Download or read book Armed Conflict and Forcible Displacement written by Elena Katselli Proukaki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the involuntary and arbitrary displacement of individuals resulting from armed conflict and gross human rights violations. It shows that forcible displacement constitutes a serious violation of international law and of fundamental community interests. Armed Conflict and Forcible Displacement provides a critical legal analysis of the contemporary international framework, permeating forcible displacement in these circumstances and explores the rights that individuals possess with specific focus on the right not to be displaced and, where this fails, the right to return home and to receive property restitution. In doing so, this volume marries together different fields of international law and builds on the case studies of Cyprus, Colombia, Cambodia and Syria. While the case studies considered here are far from exhaustive, they are either little explored or present significant challenges due to the magnitude of displacement or contested international jurisprudence. Through this analysis, the volume exposes some of the legal challenges that individuals encounter in being protected from forcible displacement, as well as the legal obstacles that persist in ensuring the return of and the recovery of property by the displaced. It will be of interest to those interested in the fields of international law, human rights law, as well as conflict and war studies.
Book Synopsis The International Protection of Internally Displaced Persons by : Catherine Phuong
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.

Book Synopsis Developing a Normative Framework for the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons by : Simon Bagshaw
Download or read book Developing a Normative Framework for the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons written by Simon Bagshaw and published by BRILL. 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.
Book Synopsis The Problem of Refugees in the Light of Contemporary International Law Issues by : Vera Gowlland-Debbas
Download or read book The Problem of Refugees in the Light of Contemporary International Law Issues written by Vera Gowlland-Debbas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions collected in the present book go beyond refugee law in its traditional sense - largely centred on questions of durable asylum and the plight of only a small tranche of the asylum-seeking population - in situating refugee law within the broader international legal system. The refugee problem is thus seen as a prism through which a host of exploding issues confront traditional international law and international relations: creation and dissolution of states, state responsibility, human rights, international jurisdiction and the United Nations mandate. These theoretical problems and their legal incidence on the refugee condition are debated against the background of UNHCR field operations in Former Yugoslavia, Africa and Eastern Europe. The contributions were originally presented at a Colloquium held in May 1994, organised by the Graduate Institute of International Studies in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Refugee law experts, members of the UN International Law Commission and practitioners were brought together in a dialogue between scholars and practitioners on a major and exponentially growing international problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a protracted displacement situation, refugees are sequestered in camps without right of mobility or employment; their lives remain on hold and stagnate in a state of limbo for a long period.

The work features case studies by experts who conducted field work examining long-term protracted refugee situations in Nepal, Thailand and Bangladesh, the protracted internally displaced (IDP) situation in Sri Lanka, and the refugee and IDP situation in Afghanistan. Also discussed is an emerging protracted refugee and IDP problem in Iraq. The volume concludes with an analysis of the lessons learned and the applications for policy, and incorporates a valuable bibliography detailing research in this hugely important area. This is a critical resource for academics and policy makers concerned with migration and governance issues.

Download or read book The Kampala Convention and Its Contributions to International Law written by Mehari Taddele Maru and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the African Union Convention on the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons - known as the Kampala Convention - which entered into force on December 6, 2012. The book sets out the shortcomings of international law relating to internal displacement - more specifically, the 'protection gap.' The book shows how the Kampala Convention not only fills this 'protection gap, ' but also how it contributes to the overall development of norms in international, regional, and national laws governing internal displacement. The book will be of interest to scholars of international law and human rights, as well as to experts in peace and security, and to practitioners in humanitarian organizations, the African Union, the United Nations, and Regional Economic Communities (RECs).

Book Synopsis Internally Displaced Persons and the Law in Nigeria by : Romola Adeola
Download or read book Internally Displaced Persons and the Law in Nigeria written by Romola Adeola and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the national legal frameworks in place for internally displaced people in Nigeria and considers how they can be extended to provide further legal protection. Despite a growing global awareness of the importance of developing solutions to the problem of internal displacement, how that translates to national level response is often under-researched. This book focuses on Nigeria, where conflict and violence continue to drive high levels of displacement. The book begins by examining the definitions and causes of internal displacement in the national context, before considering the state of national law, and the applicability of the Kampala Convention for furthering protection and assistance for internally displaced persons. This book will be of interest to researchers of African studies and internal displacement, as well as to policy makers, civil society organizations, humanitarian actors and other regional and international stakeholders.
