protection of displaced persons
Protection of displaced persons refers to ensuring safety and support for individuals forced to leave their homes due to conflict, persecution, or disasters. International laws and organizations, like the United Nations, work to provide humanitarian aid, shelter, and legal assistance to these individuals. The goal is to uphold their rights, ensure access to basic needs, and help them rebuild their lives. Displaced persons may include refugees, who cross borders, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), who remain within their country. This protection is essential for their dignity, safety, and eventual resettlement or reintegration.
