forced displacement

In this paper Amnesty International states its position on the issue of internal flight/relocation alternatives, with reference to the UNHCR Paper on Asylum-Seekers from the Russian Federation in the Context of the Situation in Chechnya, from February 2003.

This report is the result of a series of investigative missions carried out by Amnesty International in July 2003 in the Ituri region, particularly in Bunia, in regions of North Kivu (Beni, Oicha, Erengeti, Boikene, Mangangu and Nyaleke), which have been affected in different ways by the Ituri crisis, and finally in the border areas between Uganda and DRC, particularly in the villages of Bundibugyo, Rwebisengo, Karugutu, Ntoroko and Fort Portal around Lake Albert in Uganda.
