While the plight of persons displaced within the borders of states
has emerged as a global concern, not much attention has been given
to this specific category of persons in international legal
scholarship. Unlike refugees, internally displaced persons remain
within the states in which they are displaced. Current statistics
indicate that there are more people displaced within state borders
than persons displaced outside states. Romola Adeola examines the
protection of the internally displaced person under international
law, considering existing legal regimes at various levels of
governance and institutional mechanisms for internally displaced
persons. Scholars in the field of forced migration and law,
policy-makers and international agencies will recognize the
significance of the author's thorough examination of The Internally
Displaced Person in International Law.
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.
This volume examines the protection of internally displaced persons
(IDPs) through an interdisciplinary lens, with a focus on IDPs in
Africa. The novelty of this book resonates from the fact that it
explores national perspectives on internal displacement, with the
aim of providing a well-grounded engagement on the subject of
internal displacement, for which very little exists. The chapter
authors are drawn from various disciplines and institutional
backgrounds, and provide context-based analysis and examine the
situation in countries with significant population displacement.
The work is a timely engagement, as the issue of internal
displacement has emerged as a pertinent concern in Africa. Each of
the chapters in this book draw on significant context-based
knowledge and on issues for which there is a need for pertinent
attention across the African countries. This book will be a
significant reference point for researchers, professors,
practitioners, judges, policy makers, international organizations,
regional bodies, lawyers and scholars in the field of migration,
forced migration, and regional institutions.
This book highlights the use of art in human rights, specifically
within Africa. It advances an innovative pattern of thinking that
explores the intersection between art and human rights law. In
recent years, art has become an important tool for engagement on
several human rights issues. In view of its potency, and yet
potential to be a danger when misused, this book seeks to
articulate the use of arts in the human rights discourse in its
different forms. Chapters cover how music, photography, literature,
photojournalism, soap opera, commemorations, sculpting and theatre
can be used as an expression of human rights. This book
demonstrates how arts have become a formidable expression of
thoughts and a means of articulating reality in a form that
simplifies truth and congregates resolve to advance change.

This book focuses on emerging issues related to internal
displacement in Africa. The six principal issues discussed are
climate change, technology, xenophobia, harmful practices,
generalized violence and development projects. Increasingly, the
need to understand the root causes of the dimensions of internal
displacement and the dimensions in which this displacement
manifests have become a pertinent rhetoric in the discussion on
internal displacement. Therefore, this monograph examines emerging
issues for which there is very little in the internal displacement
discussion, with the aim of providing knowledge within African
regional contexts to advance law and policy formation. The novelty
of this book lies in the fact that it moves beyond the conventional
discussion on internal displacement into grey areas on the subject
in Africa, leveraging the African Union Convention for the
Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons (the
Kampala Convention). This book will be a significant reference
point for researchers, professors, practitioners, judges, policy
makers, international organizations, regional bodies, lawyers and
scholars in the fields of migration, forced migration, and regional
institutions.
