ABSTRACT

As global attention turns to the issue of
internally displaced persons (IDPs), the
African Union  (AU)  contends with
fundamental questions about its policies
in this regard. Worldwide, millions of
people have been displaced within their
territorial jurisdictions due to armed
conflicts, violence, or natural disasters.
