Online guide to resources focused on people who have had to flee their homes to avoid violence, disasters or human rights violations but remain within their country’s borders. The guide was written in 2017 by Elisa Mason who is an information specialist undertaking research into refugee and forced migration studies. The author highlights primary and secondary legal materials covering international, regional and national law with an emphasis on freely available resources. There is a link to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)’s Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and information on the role of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons. This version of the guide is published on the Forced Migration Current Awareness blog and updates an earlier version that appeared in 2011 on the LLRX.com site.
