About the Book:
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are persons who have been forced to leave their places of residence for reasons such as 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.
Internally Displaced Persons and International Refugee Law (OUP 2022) represents the first detailed legal analysis on the relationship between these two categories of forced migrants and examines to what extent the protection of IDPs complements or conflicts with international refugee law.
