The international protection of internally displaced persons / Catherine Phuong. - Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2004. - xix, 293 p. ; 24 cm. - Cambridge studies in international and comparative law . - Cambridge studies in international and comparative law (Cambridge, England : 1996) .
Includes bibliographical references (p. 255-278) and index.
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.
