Synopsis

They exist under the bland label of "displaced persons." Twenty-one million people, forced to surrender what they held dear and sent into exile, hope to return to their homes in every region of the earth. Their yearnings often have been thwarted by strategic and political constraints while both the international community and the wealthy nations have marginalized their plight. Through representative case studies from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe, this book challenges the routine reaction to forced migration and argues that it has always been "too little too late." The authors conclude that lack of an adequate international legal regime; lack of adequate resources; lack of operational cooperation among the donors, and bureaucratic pathologies, are the main reasons for the continued suffering of forced migrants. The book addresses these issues and offers novel conceptual, legal and operational approaches towards revising the international refugee regime.
