Displaced People in Europe Still Marginalised
GENEVA, 14
May 2009 – Around two and a half million internally displaced people in Europe
are still unable to lead normal lives, according to a report released today by
the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) of the Norwegian Refugee
Council (NRC). The report Protracted Internal Displacement in Europe: Current
Trends and Ways Forward describes the issues facing people internally displaced
by conflict and violence in the region and provides recommendations to improve
their situation. Some 2.5 million people remain displaced within their
countries in Europe. Most fled their homes as a result of violence and conflict
in the 1990s, and while the fighting has largely ended, peace agreements have
yet to be concluded in several countries.
