Brookings-Bern IDP project

Over the past decade, tens of millions of people have been forced from their homes by armed conflict, internal strife, and systematic violations of human rights but remain within the borders of their own countries. The Project on Internal Displacement was created to promote a more effective national, regional and international response to this global problem and to support the work of the Representative of the UN Secretary-General on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons in carrying out the responsibilities of his mandate. The Project is co-directed by Walter Kälin, the Representative of the Secretary-General, and Elizabeth Ferris, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.
