Internally Displaced Persons and Exclusion Clauses
According to the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or leave their homes or places of habitual residence for reasons such as violence, human rights violations, and disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally-recognized state border. Internal Displacement has been on the international agenda for decades, and yet it has received significantl…
Revisiting MSS v. Belgium and Greece and Interim Measures before the European Court of Human Rights
This article examines the 2011 European Court of Human Rights judgment in MSS v. Belgium and Greece, which held that transferring an asylum applicant from Belgium to Greece violated the European Convention on Human Rights. Despite receiving praise for reaffirming state obligations, this article challenges the verdict. It argues that in MSS, the Court of Human Rights missed a crucial opportunity, leaving the applicant exposed to nearly two and a h…

Internally Displaced Persons and International Refugee Law
Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are persons who have been forced or obliged to leave their places of habitual residence because of armed conflict, violence, human rights violations, or natural or human-made disasters, but who remain within their states. There are about 55 million IDPs in the world today, outnumbering refugees by roughly 2:1. Although IDPs and refugees have similar wants, needs, and fears, IDPs have traditionally been seen as …
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
Internally Displaced Persons (‘IDPs’) are described by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement as persons or groups of persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights ornatural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed…
Complementary Protection and Encampment
A camp may be described as a temporary space in which individuals receive humanitarian relief and protection until a durable solution can be found to their situation. The camp environment is often riddled with contradictions—the camp can be a place of refuge while at the same time, a place of overcrowding, exclusion and suffering. This article asks to what extent removal of an individual from state A to state B, where he or she will have to live …

Safe Zones and the Internal Protection Alternative
A ‘safe zone’ refers to an area established in armed conflict for the purposes of protecting civilians. This article provides the first legal analysis of whether safe zones can be invoked as a ground for refusing asylum. It examines the concept of the Internal Protection Alternative (IPA) which posits that an individual is not a refugee if there is a safe place within his/her country where he/she can relocate. It clarifies the applicable criteria…
Abortion in Northern Ireland and the European Convention on Human Rights: Reflections From the Uk Supreme Court
On 7 June 2018, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UKSCt) issued its decision on, inter alia , whether Northern Ireland's near-total abortion ban was compatible with the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). This article critically assesses the UKSC's treatment of international law in this case. It argues that the UKSCt was justified in finding that Northern Ireland's ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and FFA was a violation o…
Access to Abortion in Cases of Fatal Foetal Abnormality: A New Direction for the European Court of Human Rights
In contrast to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has not yet found that a prohibition of abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality violates the prohibition of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. We argue that the ECtHR is on the verge of aligning itself with the Committee because, first, recent ECtHR jurisprudence is broadenin…
The Internal Protection Alternative Inquiry and Human Rights Considerations - Irrelevant or Indispensable
The Internal Protection Alternative (IPA) stems from the premise that if there is a safe place within a refugee applicant’s country of origin where he or she can relocate, the refugee definition is not engaged. Today, it is an inherent part of refugee status determinations in most states parties of the 1951 Convention, and has been incorporated into Article 8 of the 2011 Recast EC Qualification Directive. The main thrust of the IPA test across va…
UNHCR's Involvement with IDPs - 'Protection of that Country' for the Purposes of Precluding Refugee Status
The absence of protection from persecution is a precondition to qualifying as a refugee. However, protection is not solely provided by states and may stem from non-state actors (NSAs) such as international organizations. This article will examine whether such pro tection may be substituted for 'protection of that country' and, if so, under what circum stances, and whether it may thus preclude the application of the Refugee Convention. The focus w…
