This book deals with the situation of internally displaced people - those who have been forcibly displaced by natural disasters or development projects. Each chapter is a case study authored by specialists from seven countries - India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mayanmar and Afghanistan. The latter two countries have been included for their shared ethnic continuities with people of the neighbouring countries. The authors provide recommendations on how to minimize the insecurity of the displaced, as well as suggesting early warning systems as preventive measures to forestall displacement at the outset.

This is a concise and comprehensive introduction to both the world of refugees and the UN organization that protects and assists them. Written by experts in the field, this is one of the very few books that trace the relationship between state interests, global politics, and the work of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR). Looking ahead into the twenty-first century, the authors outline how the changing nature of conflict and displacement poses UNHCR with a new array of challenges and how there exists a fundamental tension between the UN's human rights agenda of protecting refugees fleeing conflict and persecution and the security, political and economic interests of states around the world. Key topics discussed include: The UNHCR as an actor in world politics since 1950 Refugee definition and protection instruments New challenges to the UNHCR's mandate Institutional strengths and weaknesses Asylum crises in the global North and global South Protracted refugee situations and internallydisplaced persons Key criticisms and continuing relevance of the UNHCR.

The term ‘vulnerability’ is often used in law and policy to refer to disadvantaged, marginalized or excluded human beings. Being ‘in a vulnerable situation’, belonging to ‘a vulnerable group’ or simply ‘being vulnerable’ are labels that policy makers, human rights advocates and others frequently use when seeking to address precariousness, deprivation, suffering and injustice. Why do we seem so fascinated by this term and its implications? What purpose and effect does the explicit pinpointing of vulnerability have? Does a focus on vulnerability actually help to improve the situation of the most disadvantaged and excluded? If so, how and under what circumstances?With these questions in mind, this book explores how a vulnerability focus in basic assistance policies can contribute to substantive equality and therefore to the realization of universal human rights in the migration context. The book concentrates on the potential that such a vulnerability focus can have 1) to mitigate stigmatization and stereotyping and 2) to facilitate socio-economic participation. To shed light on this potential, the book relies on two case studies, both set in Khartoum, Sudan. The first case study analyzes the vulnerability-focused basic assistance policy at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), while the second case study centres on the vulnerability-focused basic assistance policy at the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The analyses concentrate on the perspectives and perceptions of basic assistance providers (i.e. the caseworkers and their direct superiors) who design and implement the respective basic assistance policies.The book provides deep insights into the policy practice of two UN agencies that seek to provide humanitarian assistance in the challenging operational environment of Sudan. The findings suggest normatively desirable and practically feasible procedures and activation measures that can help to provide just and effective assistance to vulnerable beneficiaries. The conclusions and recommendations in this book can therefore provide inspiration to researchers, policy makers and basic assistance providers well beyond the direct context of the two case studies.
