Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons: examining overlapping institutional mandates of the ICRC and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE CONFLICT INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS HISTORY INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE LAW INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW PROTECTION UNHCR This article investigates the overlapping institutional and operational mandate of the UNHCR and ICRC with regard to IDP protection, and asks whether that 'gap' in protection has been adequately addressed. Notably, international refugee law and international humanitarian law were originally directed at situations of inter-state conflicts and towards trans-border population movements. This article argues that the previous paradigm cannot accommodate the fact that there are displaced vulnerable people trapped in internal armed conflict situations who need protection. 2026-09-30T11:52:19Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33357966.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Refugees_and_Internally_Displaced_Persons_examining_overlapping_institutional_mandates_of_the_ICRC_and_the_UN_High_Commissioner_for_Refugees/33357966 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
