    IDP Camps In Haiti

    • 611 Words

    Political stalemates, resource constraints, and weak government institutions continue to hinder the Haitian government’s efforts to meet the basic needs of its people and address long-standing human rights and public health problems. The cholera epidemic claimed more than 8,500 lives and infected over 700,000 people in four years (HRW, WR 2015: Haiti). Given the poor conditions of the IDP camps, hygiene and health are directly impacted and IDPs are particularly susceptible to health threats. Widespread illness is a key-aggravating factor, along with an increase in incidents of violence within the IDP community as a whole. Such persistent, deplorable conditions and the lack of permanent housing prospects explain the increase in violence, health deterioration, poor access to education, and impediments to other basic needs of IDPs (HRW, WR 2015:…

    In 2013, conflict first broke out between rebel forces and government-backed forces in South Sudan. This conflict has intensified since and resulted in the forced displacement of many nationals of South Sudan. While some South Sudan nationals fled their homes to countries like Kenya, some fled their homes but remained within South Sudan borders and are currently being sheltered by various camps across the country. Thus, according to the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, those who fled their homes as a result of the conflict but remained in the borders of South Sudan are internally displaced persons (UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 1998). In contrast, those who fled their homes to countries overseas as a result of the conflict are refugees according to the 1951 Convention Relating to the status of refugees (UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 1951). From the above comparison, it is important to realize that what separates a refugee from an internally displaced person (IDP) is one crossing an international border. Though both have fled their homes, one remains…

    Internally Displaced People is the persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or leave their homes or origin places as a result of, or to avoid the effects of, armed conflict, generalized violence, or natural or man-made disaster and who have not crossed an internationally-recognized state border[1]. The spiraling crisis of internal displacement has created special attention to some private experts in International system to provide several useful mechanisms for addressing the problem, it was an attempt to create a set of international norms in favor of the rights of IDPs based on existing human rights, humanitarian, and analogous refugee law. By creating the norms, it can then be generated to a Guiding Principle of Internal Displacement. In the development of the norms, the experts try to use “soft law” as means to convey the norms through the states and non state actors. “Soft Law” includes only soft obligations and more to non-binding rules and codes of conduct is formulated and accepted by International Organizations and the statement is created by individuals in an NGO capacity by which the purport lay down an international principle[2]. So it derives from individual experts rather than states. The creation of Soft Law in internal displacement also as the result of the major impetus of international recognition on the Internal Displacement problems lay with NGOs group. NGO, International Organizations and UN agencies play important role in creating the Guiding Principles of Internal Displacement. Existing International Law also used as tools to compile the GPID (Guiding Principles in Internal Displacement) and to make focus on the protection of human rights on the internally displacement. The foundation of this guiding principle is the norm of sovereignty as responsibility. The protection and assistance of IDP resides with…

    The heavy insistence on this territorial principle has prompted a concern on the mismatch of the definition and the human sufferings. In other words one may say that excluding the IDPs from the refugee definition is unfair. The definition of the refugee protection doesn’t recognize the social, economic or cultural barriers which prohibit to reach for the international protection.…

    Pros And Cons Of Refugees

    • 1513 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In most cases, when Refugees arrive into a new country, they often find themselves in a quandary, since it is hard for them to assimilate into their new home. Scholars such as Sarah Feldman claim that for refugees to feel part of the society, it is crucial for them to become integrated into host communities, since they have been warehoused in refugee camps for long periods of time and may feel estranged. Feldman mentions that one of the biggest issues is the misconception that refugee camps are temporary, since “most refugee situations last much longer than this, and 7.13 million [refugees] have been [in camps] for 10 or more years” (Feldman, 2010). Those camps may also lead refugees to become fully dependent on the aid from the camp, preventing…
