Abstract
This research focuses on the role that International Human Rights Law, policy and legislation should play in the protection of the rights of internally displaced children against child marriage. This thesis examines international treaties and domestic laws that purport to prohibit the
practice of child marriage with particular attention to laws relating to the protection of internally displaced children (IDPs).
