@article{1434905, recid = {1434905}, author = {Adeola, Romola,}, title = {National protection of internally displaced persons in Africa : beyond the rhetoric /}, pages = {1 online resource}, note = {Includes index.}, abstract = {This volume examines the protection of internally displaced persons (IDPs) through an interdisciplinary lens, with a focus on IDPs in Africa. The novelty of this book resonates from the fact that it explores national perspectives on internal displacement, with the aim of providing a well-grounded engagement on the subject of internal displacement, for which very little exists. The chapter authors are drawn from various disciplines and institutional backgrounds, and provide context-based analysis and examine the situation in countries with significant population displacement. The work is a timely engagement, as the issue of internal displacement has emerged as a pertinent concern in Africa. Each of the chapters in this book draw on significant context-based knowledge and on issues for which there is a need for pertinent attention across the African countries. This book will be a significant reference point for researchers, professors, practitioners, judges, policy makers, international organizations, regional bodies, lawyers and scholars in the field of migration, forced migration, and regional institutions.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1434905}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-66884-6}, }
