Armed Conflict and Forcible Displacement - Bog

With millions of individuals around the world affected by the consequences of armed conflict and displacement, the need for a stronger, more coherent and effective legal framework relating to the right not to be displaced, to return home and to property restitution becomes even more compelling. This volume combines critical comparative perspectives on questions relating to displacement caused by armed conflict on the basis of national and international law looking at a number of case studies from Europe, Africa and the Americas. The book particularly focuses on whether a right not to be displaced and to return home as well as to property restitution exists in contemporary international law.
