No Escape From Discrimination: Minorities, Indigenous Peoples and the Crisis of Displacement
2017
This report from the Minority Rights Group focuses on the experiences of minorities and indigenous peoples who have undergone forced migration, often due to violence, persecution and discrimination, and other human rights abuses. It examines the causes, impacts, and potential solutions of such migration, with an emphasis on four key drivers: climate, conflict, nationalism, and land rights. The authors call for a number of positive steps to protect vulnerable populations and provide the means for safe return or resettlement, while also acknowledging that forced displacement is often the final step in a protracted process of exclusion and discrimination. As such, the report notes that strengthening human rights protections for all is the most important and sustainable, long-term solution to this global crisis.
