- Description:
- This policy brief analyses the impact of protracted displacement on the human rights and access to livelihoods of millions of people and examines how protracted displacement situations accentuate the risk of chronic regional insecurity, fragility and conflict spillover. Through tracing the history of international responses to protracted refugee situations (PRS), the brief examines the complexity of the negotiation processes that led to the adoption of the 2009 UNHCR Executive Committee Conclusion on PRS, while suggesting steps that will be required from a broad range of actors if there is to be an adequate response to PRS in the future.
