Development-Induced Displacement and Human Rights

Displacement has always been a major area of concern for the countries across the world, especially in the South-Asian Region. From time to time, the displaced populations have been forced to leave their home in search of safer destinations due to armed conflict, internal strife, natural calamities or even being harried by the rich developmental agencies. Among all of them, displacement caused by developmental projects is the most tragic reality where uprooting and displacing teaming millions of impoverished population, especially the indigenous groups, is considered as an "unintended" but an "inevitable" companion of "national development". The author in this book comes up with some suggestive remedies, as "A Way Forward" to a better future, in order to bridge the existing gap and also to address this crisis of human rights violations in the course of development-induced displacement, shortcomings in the laws and policy matters and also inadequacies of administrative functionaries, thus successfully concluding the legal enquiry of addressing human rights concerns in development-induced displacement.
