Summary
A unique examination of one of the world's most acute humanitarian crises: the plight of over 23 milion IDPs who are refugees within their own countries, forced to leave their homes because of military conflict, ethnic persecution, or other human rights violations. While high profile cases may be momentarily in the media's eye the vast majority of IDPs continue to survive, often in appalling conditions, with little security or legal protection from national or supra-national bodies. This independent survey collates the most comprehensive & up to date information available, presenting facts, figures & trends for over 50 countries on 5 continents. Issues such as the rights of IDPs & the responsibilities of the international community towards them are analysed & discussed.
