Masses in Flight - The Global Crisis of Internal Displacement

Informationen zum Autor By Roberta Cohen and Francis M. Deng Klappentext "Since the end of the Cold War, increasing numbers of people have been forced to leave their homes as a result of armed conflict, internal strife, and systematic violations of human rights. Whereas refugees crossing national borders benefit from an established system of international protection and assistance, those who are displaced internally suffer from an absence of legal or institutional bases for their protection and assistance from the international community.This book analyzes the causes and consequences of displacement, including its devastating impact both within and beyond the borders of affected countries. It sets forth strategies for preventing displacement, a special legal framework tailored to the needs of the displaced, more effective institutional arrangements at the national, regional, and international levels, and increased capacities to address the protection, human rights, and reintegration and development needs of the displaced." Zusammenfassung Since the end of the Cold War! increasing numbers of people have been forced to leave their homes as a result of armed conflict! internal strife! and systematic violations of human rights.
