Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2004Article 4Environment. Publisher: World Policy Journal, 2003ISSN: 1522-3205;.Subject(s): Abkhazia (Georgia) | Armenia | Caucasus | Ethnic relations -- Political aspects | Internally displaced persons | Minorities | Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan) | Refugees -- Legal statusDDC classification: 050 Summary: "All people forcibly uprooted by political violence are losers, but some are bigger losers than others. We refer to a growing category of refugees known in the chill jargon of humanitarian relief as 'IDPs,' or internally displaced persons. These are people driven from their homes and farms within their own homeland, unlike those forced to flee their country under threat of persecution. The difference is critical, since under the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention and its 1967 protocol, those qualifying as refugees receive greater recognition, rights, assistance, and protection than the internally displaced, even though both groups face similar hardships." (WORLD POLICY JOURNAL) This article describes the plight of IDPs in the South Caucasus, where "nearly 1.4 million people have been displaced by civil conflict in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, amounting to 8.7 percent of the population of the three countries."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
