Description

Explores the push factors that cause forced migration, the root causes of these factors, and the impacts of forced migration on the people affected. The international legal framework and protection regime is examined as it applies to these groups, their needs and rights in the various stages of flight, first asylum, secondary movement, local integration, repatriation, and resettlement. The major impact of conflict as a push factor is also explored, and strategies for peace and conflict resolution are addressed.
