dc.description.abstract |
In 2009 the African Union Assembly adopted the Convention on the
Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa
(Kampala Convention). The adoption of the Kampala Convention was in
response to the protection and assistance of persons displaced within the
borders of the state. While there was a regional instrument that dealt with
the protection of persons displaced outside state borders, the gap in the
protection of persons displaced internally within state borders prompted
the adoption of the framework. Hailed as a binding regional response to a
global challenge, the Kampala Convention has emerged as an important
framework since adoption. However, there is scant information and
discussion about its impact on the protection and assistance of internallydisplaced
persons. This article seeks to fill this gap by considering the
impact of the Kampala Convention on the regional landscape on the
protection and assistance of internally displaced persons in Africa. |
