The 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees clearly states that a refugee is someone who "Owing to a well founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion is outside the country of their nationality and is unable or owing to such a fear, is unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of that country." 135 States have signed the 1951 Refugee Convention. The term 'refugee', however, is often used more broadly, to refer to vulnerable displaced persons who have left their homes for reasons of persecution or due to conflict, generalized war or natural disaster.

Statement by H.E. Mrs. Erna Witoelar the Minister of Settlements and Regional Infrastructure Of the Republic of Indonesia at the Special Session of UN General Assembly on the Implementation of the HABITAT Agenda (Istanbul +5) New York, 6 June 2001 Mr. President, Honorable Ministers, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me at the outset extend my sincere congratulations to you on your election as the President of the 25t" Special Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations on the review of the implementation of Habitat Agenda (Istanbul +5). It is my delegation's fervent believe that under your presidency this meeting will be brought to a fruitful conclusion. Mr. President, We are all here today to renew our commitments to the Habitat Agenda we adopted at the Istanbul conference five years ago. Since then our countries, including Indonesia have been designing and implementing policies in the field of human settlements and urban management in accordance with that Agenda. Regrettably, over the past years, Indonesia experienced economic and political crisis, which has severely affected the implementation of the Agenda. This has been further aggravated by natural and human-made disasters such as floods, earthquakes, drought, forest fires and local communal conflicts. The latter has resulted in the increased existence of internally displaced persons (IDPs), with shelter problems for over a million people.

The University of South Dakota Disaster Mental Health Institute A South Dakota Board of Regents Center of Excellence DMHI Conference 2003 Innovations in Disaster Psychology: Time for a New Paradigm? Reflecting on the Past; Looking to the Future. September 18 to September 20, 2003 Radisson Hotel Rapid City, South Dakota Disaster Mental Health as a field arguably had its start in 1989 with a terrible trio of disasters, the crash of Flight 232, Hurricane Hugo, and the Loma Prieta earthquake. As we approach the 15th year of work in the field we are faced with the potential for disasters of a scale we have never dealt with before. Weapons of mass destruction now seem to be more of a real threat. While current models worked well in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the response to those disasters strained the limits of the nation's resources for disaster mental health. It is time to consider whether there is a need for new paradigms for the the effective provision of psychologicval support in the midst of and the aftermath of disaster. Come discuss the future of the field. Keynote Speakers The keynote speakers for this year's Innovations in Disaster Psychology conference include: General Disaster Psychology Brian W. Flynn, Ed.D.

Human beings first. The Conference organizers will assume that technology has be used for an essential ethical scope: wellbeing, good health, survival, with strategies adapted to local contexts and technological/economic absorption capacities. It may have just little scope outside human benefit. In the case of disasters, IT becomes critical for preparedness, planning, management, restoration and rehabilitation. Under extreme circumstances, good management practices are even more important than clinical skills and may have a higher impact on survival and early rehabilitation of communities. Therefore the conference will be developed with the aim at putting individuals and communities as the main subject (victim of a disaster and beneficiary of IT deployed) in the conference. Technology will be presented that makes a significant contribution to human survival and victims‰ benefit by and large.

Contact Us INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION Sponsored by the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Partnership On Migration and the Brookings Institution-CUNY Project on Internal Displacement Moscow, 25-26 April 2002 BACKGROUND MEMORANDUM Internal displacement has come to the fore in recent years as one of the most pressing humanitarian, human rights and political issues now facing the global community. There are an estimated 20 to 25 million persons world-wide, forcibly displaced within the borders of their own countries as a result of armed conflict and human rights violations, and who are often in acute need of protection and assistance. Whereas refugees, who total around 12 million, can look to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for support, internally displaced persons have no comparable international system in place to respond to their needs. True, ad hoc arrangements have developed, but large numbers of internally displaced persons remain outside established systems of protection and assistance. Issue of Sovereignty Legal Framework To provide the international community with a framework for action, the Representative, together with a team of international legal experts, developed the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. For many years, international organisations and NGOs had pointed to the absence of a document to turn to when dealing with internally displaced populations. To fill this gap and at the request of the Commission on Human Rights and the General Assembly, the Representative studied the extent to which international law provides protection for the internally displaced.

Deng The IOM/ECOWAS Workshop on International Migration in West Africa September 30, 2002 Francis M. Deng Non-resident Senior Fellow Foreign Policy Studies Francis M. Deng Mr. Chairperson, Honorable Ministers, Distinguished Speakers and Guests, I have asked the Co-Director of the Brookings Institution-SAIS Project on Internal Displacement to present my remarks since I am unfortunately unable to be with you today. Let me begin by welcoming all of you and expressing my support and appreciation to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for organizing this Workshop on International Migration in West Africa. The IOM has long played an important role in providing assistance to migrants throughout the world, whether their migration is forced or voluntary. It also is to be commended for its more recent involvement with situations of forced internal One of the themes of the IOM-ECOWAS cooperative program involves migration, human security and regional stability. It is evident that conflict and displacement shatter lives and undermine human security, in particular by breaking up family and community ties, terminating employment relationships, halting formal educational opportunities, depriving people of adequate food and shelter, and making displaced populations especially vulnerable to acts of violence. It is also evident that conflict and displacement spill over borders and can create regional economic and political turmoil. Indeed, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned: "If left unaddressed, internal displacement not only causes internal instability but may spill across borders and upset external and regional stability." He said there is therefore "a compelling need for the international community to strengthen its support for national efforts to assist and protect displaced populations."

International Legal Community Makes Strides in Developing International Norms for Protecting and Assisting Internally Displaced Persons by Ellen B. Zeisler While world attention has focused on the problems of refugees, forced to flee their countries to escape persecution or armed conflict, an even greater number of individuals facing such crises remain in their own countries, uprooted from their homes or places of habitual residence. These internally displaced persons (IDPs) are like refugees in that they are vulnerable to discrimination and violations of their basic human rights. Unlike refugees who are protected in large part by major international conventions, however, international law frequently fails to protect the special needs of the internally displaced. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that there are approximately 13.2 million refugees in the world today. The Washington-based foreign policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, estimates that IDPs number between 20-25 million. Refugee law obliges states which are parties to the major refugee conventions to afford bonafide refugees certain rights. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) who do not cross international boundaries often have the same protection and assistance needs as refugees but are not covered by international refugee instruments since they do not qualify as refugees. Appointment of a UN Representative on Internally Displaced Persons In response to the growing phenomenon of IDPs worldwide, the international community has in recent years focused on formally promoting the rights and needs of the internally displaced. In 1992, the UN Secretary-General, at the request of the UN Commission on Human Rights, appointed Dr. Francis M. Deng as the Representative on Internally Displaced Persons. Dr. Deng, a former Sudanese diplomat and Minister of State, was assigned the task of examining the problem of IDPs by undertaking missions to countries with large displaced populations. With some 35-40 countries facing acute problems of internal displacement, the Secretary General's Representative has already visited the former Yugoslavia, the Russian Federation, Somalia, the Sudan, El Salvador, Sri Lanka, Colombia, Burundi, Rwanda, Peru, Tajikistan and Mozambique. On the ground, Deng assesses the protection and assistance needs of IDPs and dialogues with governments and other relevant actors regarding the treatment of IDPs.
