Internally 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.
