Displaced Persons - Victims of forced migration

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A displaced person is a person who has been forced to leave his or her native place, a phenomenon known as forced migration. The term was first widely used during World War II and the resulting refugee outflows from Eastern Europe, when it was used to specifically refer to one removed from his or her native country as a refugee, prisoner or a slave laborer. The term "refugee" is also commonly used as a synonym for displaced person, causing confusion between the general descriptive class of anyone who has left their home and the subgroup of legally defined refugees who enjoy specified international legal protection. Learn more about displaced persons and their status according to the international law in the following pages.
