GENEVA (IDN) – The forced displacement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Middle East cannot be left unaddressed by decision-makers in the context of the refugee and migrant crisis, stressed a group of human rights experts during a panel debate at the United Nations Office at Geneva.
The debate entitled “Protecting people on the move: Internally displaced persons in the context of the refugee and migrant crisis” was held on March 21 at Palais des Nations in Geneva on the margins of the 37th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council. The debate was arranged by the Geneva Centre for Human Rights Advancement and Global Dialogue (Geneva Centre) and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) in cooperation with the Permanent Mission of the United Arab Emirates to UN Geneva.
