Internally Displaced Palestinians, International Protection and Durable Solutions
By BADIL
December 04, 2002

One of the often neglected groups of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Middle East is internally displaced Palestinians. While internally displaced Palestinians inside 1948 Palestine/Israel and in 1967 occupied Palestine comprise a small percent of the global Palestinian refugee population, they face many of the same problems as refugees. This includes the lack of national and international protection, denial of durable solutions – i.e., return, housing and property restitution, and compensation, and the absence of an international body or mechanism to provide protection and search for durable solutions.
