Context:
The Norwegian Refugee Council has listed Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Colombia among the world’s most neglected displacement crises. The report highlights that global attention and resources are often diverted towards nationalism, rearmament and conflicts in wealthy regions.
Explanation:
- Displacement crisis refers to the forced movement of people due to conflict, violence, persecution, disasters, climate stress or economic collapse.
- Displaced persons may be refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) or asylum seekers, depending on whether they cross an international border.
- Refugees are protected under the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, but India is not a party to these instruments.
- Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) remain within their own country and do not receive the same international legal status as refugees.
- Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an international humanitarian organisation that works for displaced people affected by conflict and crisis.
- Sudan faces displacement due to civil war and armed conflict; DR Congo due to militia violence and resource conflicts; Colombia due to armed groups, drug violence and internal conflict.
- Neglected crises receive low media attention, weak diplomatic focus and inadequate humanitarian funding.
