Protection Of Internally Displaced Persons In Internal Conflicts, Luke T. Lee

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

There are some thirty million internally displaced persons (IDPs) today as compared to fifteen million refugees. The root causes generating refugees and IDPs are essentially the same: armed conflicts and human rights abuses. While refugees are protected by a number of international treaties and organizations, and are enjoying comparative safety in countries of asylum or resettlement, IDPs are not - supposedly on the ground that since IDPs are within their own country, their government should be responsible for their protection.

Russian Minorities In The Newly Independent States, John Quigley Jan 1997

Russian Minorities In The Newly Independent States, John Quigley

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

One of the legal issues left by recent territorial change in Eastern Europe is the status of persons of a former majority group who become a minority. This issue has presented particular difficulties where, the remaining population is of an ethnic group that formerly held a predominant role vis-d-vis an ethnic group that, as a result of the territorial change, has become a majority.


The New Dynamics Of Self-Determination, Valerie Epps Jan 1997

The New Dynamics Of Self-Determination, Valerie Epps

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The term self-determination still teeters on the borders of evolving legal precept, expression of political will, and universal human aspiration. The concept never quite settles down into a black letter law pronouncement or a clearly understood political dynamic.

The Likely Legacies Of Tadic, Jose E. Alvarez

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

How will historians and others judge the Balkan war crimes tribunal? In my brief time, I would like to indicate how the prosecution of Tadic, the first case before that tribunal, has raised some doubts about that body's legitimacy and likely legacy.
