- Global overview of internal displacement
- This Global Overview provides an analysis of the world wide internal displacement crisis, reflecting developments in 2006. In addition to an analysis of developments at the global level, the report also provides overviews of regional and thematic trends. The authors argue that the very governments responsible for protecting their citizens from displacement and other violations of their human rights often fail to ensure their protection and are themselves involved in forcibly uprooting civilians.
