Avances y mejoras del marco normativo para la asistencia y protección de los desplazados internos en África

Abstract

The study of internally displaced persons is of particular legal interest not only because their number is steadily increasing, but also because the legal framework is not yet fully defined. Following on from the international community’s efforts to create the Guiding Principles, we highlight the importance of the work of the International Conference on the Great Lakes and the African Union’s adoption of the Kampala Convention, which is binding for the entire continent.
