This volume analyses India's reasonably good record of providing protection and hospitality to refugees, while pointing out the contradictions in the relation between these positive aspects and the manner in which state power has been exercised in post-colonial India. In examining the varied encounters between the state and refugees, the contributors demonstrate that India's story of providing care is simultaneously one of limiting care. It reveals the power of the state to decide whom to extend hospitality to and whom to deny it to. Thus, the issue of affording asylum becomes one of exercisin

Why do states protect refugees? In the past twenty years, states have sought to limit access to asylum by increasing their border controls and introducing extraterritorial controls. Yet no state has sought to exit the 1951 Refugee Convention or the broader international refugee regime. This book argues that such international policy shifts represent an ongoing process whereby refugee protection is shaped and redefined by states and other actors. Since the seventeenth century, a mix of collective interests and basic normative understandings held by states created a space for refugees to be separate from other migrants. However, ongoing crisis events undermine these understandings and provide opportunities to reshape how refugees are understood, how they should be protected, and whether protection is a state or multilateral responsibility. Drawing on extensive archival and secondary materials, Phil Orchard examines the interplay among governments, individuals, and international organizations that has shaped how refugees are understood today.

With 'displacement' as the guiding thread, the purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it derives from the relevant provisions of international humanitarian law a legal framework for the protection of displaced persons in armed conflict, both from and during displacement. It contains a case study on Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the recent Advisory Opinion on the Separation Wall, and addresses such issues as humanitarian assistance for displaced persons, the treatment of refugees in the hands of a party to a conflict and the militarisation of refugee camps. Secondly, it examines the issue of displacement within the broader context of civilian war victims and identifies and addresses the normative gaps of international humanitarian law, including the inadequacy of concepts such as 'protected persons' and the persistence of the dichotomy between international and non-international armed conflicts, which is at odds with the realities of contemporary armed conflicts.

This edited collection has sought contributions from some of the foremost scholars of refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) studies to engage with the conceptual and practical difficulties entailed in realising how the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) can be fulfilled by states and the international community to protect vulnerable persons. Contributors to this book were given one theme: to consider, based on their experience and knowledge, how R2P may be aligned with the protection of the displaced. Contributions explore the history and progress so far in aligning R2P with refugee and IDP protection, as well as examining the conceptual and practical issues that arise when attempting to expand R2P from words into deeds.

La presente publicación es producto de las investigaciones finalizadas en el marco de la Cátedra Unesco “Derechos Humanos y violencia: gobierno y gobernanza”, de la Universidad Externado de Colombia. Está compuesta por nueve capítulos que abordan temáticas relevantes como la justicia, el medio ambiente, la educación, el turismo y la memoria histórica, como medios para la restauración de los vínculos rotos de la sociedad colombiana. Este libro busca que se escuchen las voces de las personas que han sido víctimas del desplazamiento forzado o que están en condiciones de vulnerabilidad. A partir de las diferentes experiencias de agenciamiento se quiere contribuir a la construcción de instrumentos normativos y de política pública que permitan ampliar las definiciones sobre verdad, justicia, reparación y garantías de no repetición, bajo una perspectiva restaurativa. Esta perspectiva restaurativa permite visibilizar los diálogos que se han llevado a cabo entre los distintos participantes e identifica puntos en consenso entre las necesidades y las expectativas de la población en condiciones de vulnerabilidad y las expectativas institucionales y normativas. En este sentido, se resalta la necesidad de reconocimiento de las capacidades y recursos que desarrolla esta población desde sus entornos para avanzar hacia la transformación social, la garantía de derechos y la construcción de paz.

This book, the first in a series on the North East, focuses on development-induced. displacement of population in the region during the post-colonial period. Despite. state-sponsored development initiatives, the North East still remains highly underdeveloped. and politically disturbed. Various development projects initiated by the state. led to massive displacement of population within the region, which has virtually. gone unnoticed. The author has made use of extensive empirical data to document. this massive displacement. The Government of India had recently decided to construct 145 mega dam
