Abstract
While the international community focuses on major humanitarian and refugee emergencies, 60–70 per cent of the world's refugees displaced by conflict and human rights violations have been languishing in a state of neglect and insecurity in camps and urban slums—some for over twenty years. Protracted situations exist in the Caucasus, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East and West Africa. This article will focus on protracted displacement in Asia. It begins by providing an overview of the scale of displacement in the region. It then examines some of the causes and consequences of long-term displacement and recent efforts of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other humanitarian and development agencies to provide relief, protection, and durable solutions for over a million displaced people in Asia.
