2005-2006 Organizing Principle

LSHR's organizing principle for 2005-2006 is Displaced Persons. The category is purposefully broad. As it relates to human rights, "displaced persons" is intended to encompass those fleeing from persecution as asylum-seekers and refugees, those who have been forced to move by economic or social marginalization, as well as those driven from home by natural disasters. In all cases where people have been displaced, our goal is to elucidate and advocate for the obligations that States (and others) owe to those in need.
