"One of the greatest changes and new challenges for UNHCR [United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees] is the growth in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) worldwide. For the first thirty-five to forty years of its existence, most refugees were the result of the inter-state conflict, usually within the context of Cold War politics. Today, the largest number of forcibly uprooted people in the world are displaced within their own countries, largely as a result of internal political or ethnic conflict." (MIGRATION WORLD) The author describes the UNHCR's involvement with IDPs and provides policy suggestions for the UNHCR to adopt in reference to protecting and assisting refugees.
