Within the context of the 2009 Kampala Convention, this book
examines how a balance can be struck between the imperative of
development projects and the rights of persons likely to be
displaced in Africa. Following independence, many African states
embarked on large-scale development projects such as dams, urban
renewal and extraction of natural resources and have had to grapple
with how to protect displaced communities while implementing
development projects. These projects were considered a panacea for
Africa's development and the economic interests of the majority
were often considered over and above the interests of the minority
of people who were displaced by these projects .This book examines
how a balance can be struck between the imperative of development
and the rights of displaced persons within the context of the
African Union Convention on the Protection and Assistance of
Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (the Kampala Convention).
Romola Adeola analyses the obligations that are placed on African
states by the Kampala Convention in the context of
development-induced displacement. This book will be of interest to
scholars of human rights law, forced migration, African Studies and
development.
