MUMBAI: A United Nations expert this week warned about internal displacement emerging as a significant human rights and humanitarian challenge in a message that carries an important wake-up call for India.
Around 26 million persons across the globe were internally displaced across the globe due to armed conflict, violence or human rights atrocities, estimated the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons, Chaloka Beyani adding that another 15 million were displaced by natural calamities.
The rapporteur pointed out that such persons are often wrongly tagged as 'refugees' and it was time that states have frameworks to manage mass internal displacements and put in place appropriate response systems. The lack of such a crises intervention system was cleary felt during the recent exodus of people from the state of Assam following riots.
Similar crises have been seen following natural calamities such as floods as well. Agencies' conservatively estimate IDPs in India to be around 5.06 lakh till December 2011 though experts point out that the population is hard to cover statistically.
