Abstract: 

"Internal displacement has created an unprecedented challenge for the international community: to find ways to respond to what is essentially an internal crisis. This study is one of the first in-depth looks at a problem that has emerged as one of the great human tragedies of our time". - From the Preface by Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations. - "A path breaking work - balanced and comprehensive - on an increasingly important international problem, which is only now being recognized. It will prove invaluable to policymakers and informed citizens alike". -Ambassador Herbert S. Okun, former Deputy Permanent Representative of the United Nations-.
