War, armed conflicts, and disasters inflict substantial costs upon civilians, compelling them to flee their residences to survive. This situation necessitates attention from the governments of all nations, as it is their duty to protect and ensure the livelihoods of their citizens. These people are known as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). However, some nations fail to implement adequate measures to assist them. This raises crucial questions: what should a government do when faced with this issue? How can the world support affected nations to ensure everyone can live in sufficiency?On this episode, Podcast Hubungan Internasional invites you to discuss IDP with Cecilia Jimenez-Damary, a Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons; and Daniel Petz, a visiting lecturer to DIHI from the University of Graz.==============================================

The Democratic Republic of the Congo faced a particularly challenging 2024, with multiple crises worsening food insecurity. Continued armed conflict has displaced over 1.4 million people between January and July, raising the total number of Internally Displaced Persons to 7 million. In November, FAO Deputy Director-General Beth Bechdol visited Rusayo 2, the largest internally displaced people's camp in the DRC. In this on-the-ground episode, she highlights FAO's efforts to support farmers and displaced communities by providing essential agricultural assistance, helping them survive today while building resilience against future crises.

It's Friday, November 1, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus How you can bless displaced Christians in Nigeria Open Doors reports that Muslim jihadists are resorting to displacement, violence, kidnapping and murder against our Christian brothers and sisters in sub-Saharan Africa. Right now, there are more than 16.2 million displaced Christians in the region—many of them forced to flee because of their faith in Jesus. Nigerian Pastor Barnabas, who was forced to leave his home, is blunt about the reality. He said, “It is not easy to live in an Internally Displaced Persons camp. If not for God's intervention, if not for God's love, I wouldn't be where I am today.” The partners of Open Doors are on the ground in Nigeria and were able to get emergency aid to the camp where Pastor Barnabas lives. But there are so many more people, like Pastor Barnabas, who need help. When you give $37 through Open Doors, you give vital support to a displaced believer in sub-Saharan Africa, providing food, clothing and shelter.

Proverbs 11:25 says, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Madison Square Garden comedian insulted Puerto Ricans at Trump event At Donald Trump's 3-hour-long Madison Square Garden campaign rally on Sunday, which attracted 20,000 people, a no-name comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, delivered an inexcusable joke at the expense of Puerto Ricans. HINCHCLIFFE: “There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico.” Sean Hannity asked Trump for his response on Fox News. TRUMP: “Somebody said there was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something. I have no idea who he is, never saw him, never heard of him. What they've done is taken somebody that has nothing to do with the party, has nothing to do with us, and they try and make a big deal. I've done more for Puerto Rico than any president.” Biden calls Trump supporters “garbage” President Joe Biden reacted to the comedian's remarks. BIDEN: “Donald Trump has no character. He only cares about the billionaire friends he has and accumulated wealth for those at the top. Now, he says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. Give me a break. He wants to do away with the birthright citizenship. And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico ‘a floating island of garbage.' “Well, let me tell you something. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump's] supporters.” Trump to Biden: 250 million Americans are not “garbage” At a campaign rally on Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump reacted to Biden's remarks. TRUMP: “I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage. (cheers) This week, Kamala has been comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. And now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, Crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage. No way, (boos) no way. “My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple: you can't lead America if you don't love Americans. That's true.” (cheers) And Trump rejected the demonization of his supporters. TRUMP: “For the past nine years, Kamala and her party have called us racist, bigots, fascists, deplorables, irredeemables, Nazis. And they called me Hitler. (boos) They bullied you.  They've demonized us. They've censored us. They've de-platformed us. And they weaponized the power of our own government against all of us.” Possible political fallout with Hispanic voters Regarding the potential Election Day fallout to the outrageous comment about Puerto Rico by the no-name comedian, Luke Winkie, a columnist for Slate, said it well. “There's a strong chance that the whole election once again could come down to Pennsylvania, which also happens to be home to one of the highest populations of Puerto Ricans in the United States, comprising about 8 percent of the state's residents.” Prior to the Madison Square Garden controversy, Pew Research documented that 57% of Hispanic voters supported Kamala Harris and 39% supported Donald Trump, which is demonstrably higher than previous GOP presidential candidates. The question is whether he will be able to woo them back before next Tuesday. Selfish couple demands surrogate abort their baby Marty and Melinda Rangers prioritized their busy careers and shunned having children. According to The Daily Mail, after the married couple made a small fortune in the real estate business, they retired early, moved to the Caribbean, and hired a doctor to create their children in a petri dish.  The doctor, who was paid $30,000, transferred several of the couple's embryos at an In Vitro Fertilization clinic into the rented womb of a surrogate who was paid $65,000. The contract included a prohibition on drugs and alcohol and a ban on leaving the country for the duration of the pregnancy or the state during the third trimester. Three-and-a-half months into the pregnancy, Melinda found on social media that the young woman they had rented had allegedly consumed alcohol. The woman assured them that it was not a shot of alcohol in the photo, but water.  However, Marty said, “After much deliberation, we decided the best thing to do would be to terminate our baby at 20 weeks.” Tragically, the selfish married couple demanded that the young woman, their surrogate, procure a late-term abortion for “breach of contract,” and she did, reports LifeSiteNews.com.  Psalm 127:3 says, "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” Stranded astronauts returned to Earth last Friday And finally, the astronauts who were stranded aboard the International Space Station for 8 months splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico at 3:29 a.m. Eastern on Friday, October 25th off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. In August, when Boeing's Starliner space capsule scheduled to pick them up had to return to the Earth empty for malfunctions and safety concerns, there must have been a small measure of concern. NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 mission includes Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Alexander Grebenkin. During their mission, crew members traveled nearly 100 million miles and completed 3,760 orbits around Earth. They conducted new scientific research to advance human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit human life on Earth. Research and technology demonstrations included conducting stem cell research to develop organoid models for studying degenerative diseases, exploring how fuel temperature affects material flammability, and studying how spaceflight affects immune function in astronauts. Their return to Earth is an answer to many prayers.

From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, reality as we know it is the complex synthesis of sensory information and expectation. Exploring its fascinating mechanics and remarkable implications for our lives, mental health, and society, Clark nimbly illustrates how the predictive brain sculpts all human experience. Chronic pain and mental illness are shown to involve subtle malfunctions of our unconscious predictions, pointing the way towards more effective, targeted treatments. Under renewed scrutiny, the very boundary between ourselves and the outside world dissolves, showing that we are as entangled with our environments as we are with our onboard memories, thoughts, and feelings. And perception itself is revealed to be something of a controlled hallucination. Unveiling the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain, The Experience Machine is a mesmerizing window onto one of the most significant developments in our understanding of the mind. 1215-1230 2/4: The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality Hardcover – May 2, 2023 by  Andy Clark  (Author) 1230-1245 3/4: The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality Hardcover – May 2, 2023 by  Andy Clark  (Author) 1245-100 am 4/4: The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality Hardcover – May 2, 2023 by  Andy Clark  (Author)

Most people are familiar with the phenomenon of refugees, those forced to flee their country of origin, because of a well-founded fear of persecution or, in some places, because of armed conflict or natural disaster. But there is another, equally vulnerable category of people, who don't cross international boundaries, but find it necessary to relocate to a different region of their country. On today's episode of The Lid Is On, Conor Lennon met with Cecilia Jimenez-Damary – the outgoing UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons – on the link between conflict and the climate crisis, which is increasingly causing people to leave their homes in search of safety.

Today's episode is part of our Seminar Series, in which we facilitate discussions on work conducted by teams of academic researchers and practitioners that relates to one of four thematic topics: 1) Crime Reduction & Police Accountability, 2) Climate Change Governance, 3) Displacement, Migration, & Integration, and 4) Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization.This episode focuses on Displacement, Migration, and Integration,  presenting a discussion with researcher Andrés Moya (UniAndes), along with Cristina Gutierrez de Piñeres (United Way Colombia) and Diana María Pineda Ruiz (Fundación Éxito), representatives from the organizations that implemented the project's program in Tumaco, Colombia—a territory rife with armed conflict due to the drug trade. The study analyzed how the pandemic affected mental health and parenting stress among caregivers, many of whom are internally displaced persons (IDPs), through a psychosocial program that seeks to restore maternal mental health and improve early childhood development among violence-exposed families. Rosario Aguilar, EGAP member and Senior Lecturer of Comparative Politics at Newcastle University, moderates the conversation.

On the morning of March 27, assailants abducted villagers along with Father Leo Raphael Ozigi, a priest of St. Mary's Catholic Church in the town of Sarkin Pawa. The people abducted were reportedly villagers who had just returned to their communities on Saturday after living in Internally Displaced Persons camps. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/250822/catholic-priest-abducted-after-sunday-mass-in-nigeria A Ukrainian Catholic priest, who is married and a father of seven, recently accompanied one of his parishioners on a journey to Ukraine, where they rescued 22 orphans. Father Jason Charron flew to Ukraine with one of his parishioners, who had recently adopted a daughter from there. Crossing the border into Ukraine, the priest and the parishioner made their way to the orphanage from which the daughter had been adopted, and were able to get the orphans to safety in Lithuania. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/250819/a-catholic-priest-and-a-parishioner-team-up-to-rescue-ukrainian-orphans Today the Church celebrates Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish council who went to Pontius Pilate and asked for possession of the body of Jesus after his passion and death.

ကယားပြည် (ကရင်နီ) မှာ ကရင်နီ ပြည်သူ့ကာကွယ်ရေးတပ် KNDF နဲ့ စစ်ကောင်စီအကြား မြို့ပြမှာ တိုက်ပွဲတွေ ယာယီရပ်ဆိုင်းဖို့ သဘောတူညီခဲ့ကြပါတယ်။

Nigeria's Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has denied having a Christianisation agenda and only appointing Christians into sensitive positions.A widely circulated article written by “Dr Musbau Akinbode” titled “Osinbajo's Stealth Christianization Agenda” had accused Osinbajo of advancing a dangerous religious agenda by appointing mostly Christians into government.Osinbajo denied the allegations through his Senior special assistant to the president on legal, research and compliance matters, Balkisu Saidu.Balkisu Saidu describes the article by Dr. Akinbode as “mischievous”, according to reports.She listed the Muslims who are working closely with the vice-president and also disclosed that he supports them in their right to religious freedom without hindrance.FULL TEXT OF BALKISU SAIDU'S REJOINDERBefore the permeation of social media, I was one of those who believed in and re-echoed the popular saying that “the only way to win with a toxic person is not to play.” To this end, I found silence to be a very potent tool in dealing with some extremely wicked and deliberate acts of provocation exhibited through concoction and spread of falsehoods and apparently implausible stories.I have since realised that, in this day and age of fake news and cyber propaganda, it is important that lies and misinformation, no matter the motive of the initiator, are countered and records set straight. Amongst the recipients of the falsehood could be some innocent consumers who will benefit from having true facts presented. Allowing fake news to linger may create the impression that there could be some element of truth in what was propagated.It is for the foregoing reasons that when the write-up credited to one Dr Musbau Akinbode titled “Osinbajo's Stealth Christianization Agenda”, which has been circulating recently in social media, was brought to my attention, I opted to respond. Although no date was ascribed to the write-up, it appears to be a rehash of several baseless allegations made in the past against the Vice President, many of whom have been debunked with apologies issued by unsuspecting media houses misled into publishing some of the concocted stories.The new twist in Dr Akinbode's write-up is the allegation that the Vice President is implementing a “Christianization” agenda and in that wise none of the appointments made by the Vice President from persons of Yoruba extraction were given to Yoruba Muslims. This allegation reminded me of a similar baseless claim made in 2017 by one Dr. Ismaila Farouk, which Akinbode referred to, alleging that the selection of personal staff of the Vice President was skewed in favour of “his Yoruba ethnic group.” Those fuelling the orchestrated and surreptitious narrative immediately backtracked when confronted with facts and a long list of Northerners, from tribes other than Yoruba, working in the office at the time including, among others, Mrs. Maryam Uwais (Special Adviser on Social Investment, from Kano State); Ambassador Abdullahi Gwary (Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs, from Yobe State); my humble self (Senior Special Assistant on Legal, Research and Compliance Matters, from Sokoto State); Mr. Ismaeel Ahmed (Senior Special Assistant on Social Investment, from Kano State); Mr. Bege Bala (Special Assistant, BPE, from Kaduna State); Abdurahman Baffa Yola (Special Assistant on Political Matters); Mrs. Susan Chagwa (Special Assistant on Household and Social Events, from Adamawa State), etc.Certainly, some of the listed allegations made by Dr Akinbode are objectionably and glaringly malicious and even laughable, unlikely to be believed by any discerning follower of the rise and actions of the Vice President. For example, the Office of the Vice President is like a mini-Nigeria. The level of diversity accomplished in the office reflects all segments of the society – geo-political, ethnic, religious, gender, and youth representation.It is therefore inconceivable for anyone to suggest marginalisation or, as Dr Akinbode puts it, “Christianization” in appointments and religious bigotry. To the specific point of appointment of Yoruba Muslims, Dr Akinbode may wish to know that, even amongst his personal staff, no less than ten Yoruba Muslims were appointed to work for the Vice President including his next in command and the highest-ranking officer in the Vice President's office, the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. AbdurRahman Adeola Ipaye. Other Yoruba Muslims who work, at various times, in the office include Distinguished Senator Babafemi Ojudu (Special Adviser on Political Matters); Dr Mariam Masha (Senior Special Assistant on Internally Displaced Persons); Ms Lanre Shasore (Senior Special Assistant on Planning and Coordination); Mrs. Olabisi Ogungbemi (Special Assistant on Political Matters); Yusuf Ali (Special Assistant on Power); Mr Mohammed Brimah (Special Assistant on Job Creation); Mr Mukhtar Tijani (Special Assistant on Power); Ms. Lolade Abiola; and Mr. Akanni Rahman.A leader known to suspend meetings to enable Muslim participants to perform prayers; known to rescue Muslim orphans and provide them with shelter and educational opportunities that safeguard and promote their religious practices; known to host Breaking of Ramadan Fast (Iftar) with Religious Leaders and Muslim communities from across the country; known to timeously intervene in the resolution of thorny inter-religious issues with potential for escalation can certainly not be said to be promoting any particular religion.Also, the allegation of “Christianization” in the appointment of some named individuals to various positions in Government is indicative of a complete lack of understanding of how Government appointments are made or a deliberate attempt to distort facts and mislead the unsuspecting public. Save for Mr. Kayode Pitan, who was appointed by the Vice President as the Managing Director of the Bank of Industry to take over from Mr. Waheed Olagunju, who was serving in an acting capacity, all the other persons named by Dr Akinbode were appointed by the President in the exercise of his constitutional powers.The calibre of the persons is not in question. In terms of accomplishments, these are pacesetters in their respective industries. For example, Mr. Ben Akabueze, the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation served more than two terms as Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in Lagos State and was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NAL Bank Plc. (now Sterling Bank Plc.). He has also served as Special Adviser to the President on National Planning.Mr Alex Okoh, the Director-General, Bureau of Public Enterprises, an Alumnus of Harvard Business School and former Managing Partner, Ashford & McGuire Consulting Ltd.; is a quintessential Banker and Financial Advisor who as the Managing Director/CEO of NNB International Bank led the transformation of the bank from a comatose state into a leading commercial bank in Nigeria. He has worked with various banks within and outside Nigeria including Nigeria International Bank Limited (Citibank); United Bank for Africa Plc.; Citibank New York; Fidelity Bank London; Swiss Banking Corporation, Zurich; and Grindlays Bank, Zimbabwe. His first tenure recorded tremendous transformation of the Bureau leading to his reappointment by the President.Before the appointment by Mr. President of Mr Okey Enelamah as the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment in 2015, the Harvard University graduate, Baker Scholar, and Loeb Fellow has had a tremendously successful career in investment banking and with Arthur Anderson (now KPMG Professional Services), New York and London offices of Goldman Sachs, Zephyr Management. He also founded and served as CEO of the African Capital Alliance (ACA).Clearly, even on the appointment of Mr Pitan, the author is not questioning the qualification of Mr Pitan, imaginably considering his robust academic training (including at American Graduate School of International Management, Arizona, USA; London Business School; and Haggai Institute, Singapore) as well as his decades of corporate and banking experience.These appointments were based purely on merit. The only problem with the appointments, according to the author, was their religion. Save Dr Akinbode is suggesting that persons being considered for appointments into Government positions must denounce their religions, it is unclear why the religious leanings of the appointees should be an issue. Recall that similar allegations were made against appointments of equally deserving and competent Muslims with claims of “Islamisation” being bandied around. Such divisive rhetoric and adverse language are dangerous to Nigeria's unified harmonious existence and should be resisted and rejected by all.The Osinbajo I know has been nothing but absolutely and uncompromisingly loyal to his principal, earning him several public and private commendations and additional responsibilities from the President, including the management of the Economic Sustainability Plan, credited with facilitating the “unexpected exit” of Nigeria from one of the worst recession cycles to hit several nations of the world. The man, Osinbajo, seeks no accolades. It is therefore not every action taken by him in support of persons facing challenges that will end up on the pages of newspapers. Just because Dr Akinbode is unaware of these interventions should not be a basis for dehumanising the Vice President.Additionally, it is evil and reprehensible to drag the person of Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo into whatever malicious campaign the author is mounting against the Vice President. This is a humble and compassionate woman, who has conducted her humanitarian and philanthropic activities in a well-guided and detached manner away from any Government activities. It is unacceptable to have persons of integrity be subjected to such ridiculous acts of scathing and baseless attacks. Clearly

If you're a refugee fleeing persecution or disaster and can't or don't want to cross an international border, you are what the UN calls an internally displaced person, or IDP. The governments comprising the UN refused for decades to focus on the rights of IDP's, and remarkably it took until the late 1990s before a degree of structural attention began to be given to the brutal human suffering and displacement endured by the world's ever growing internally displaced population. In 2020, more than 50 million people are classified as IDPs, with a majority of these fleeing acute and slow onset natural disasters such as flooding, earthquakes, volcanos, landslides, tsunamis and increasingly the ever-worsening effects of climate change. Conflicts still displace millions across the globe, but clearly disasters and climate change are the main drivers of internal displacement and the loss of homes and lands today. Speaking to us from Davao City in the Philippines, Episode 24's very special guest is the UN's point person on IPDs, Cecelia Jiminez-Damary, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Internally Displaced Persons. Cecelia's decades-long human rights career places her in a solid position to advocate on behalf of the growing segment of humanity that has been forced by circumstances beyond their control from their homes, and she has already accomplished much since her work commenced in 2016, often against all odds. Her mandate has taken her to some of the most dangerous conflict hotspots across the globe in her (unpaid!) quest to provide support to this highly vulnerable group of our fellow humans. Working in Iraq, Libya, El Salvador, Sudan and beyond, Cecelia shares some incredible stories of human suffering and human resilience. If you would like to know more about Cecelia's work, you can go to the following UN website which contains all of her reports and background on her mandate: https://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/IDPersons/Pages/IDPersonsIndex.aspx Thanks again to Cecelia for joining us for Episode 24 and congratulations on an amazing effort in what is surely one of the world's most difficult jobs!

The World Food Programme of the United Nations on Wednesday said the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to the loss of 13 million jobs in Nigeria. According to the agency, Nigeria needs urgent financial intervention to boost its economy, as millions of citizens across the country are currently suffering the harsh economic impact of the virus. WFP’s Senior Spokesperson, Elisabeth Byrs, in a statement from her agency said  that more than $182m was needed to sustain life-saving aid to Africa’s most populous country over the next six months. She explained that over 3.8 million citizens, particularly those in the informal sector, could lose their jobs, adding that the figure could rise to 13 million if the restriction on movements persist for long. The WFP official, however, stated that her organisation was distributing two months’ worth of food and nutrition assistance in Internally Displaced Persons’ camps and among vulnerable communities. She also stated that three million vulnerable individuals in Abuja, Kano and Lagos would also receive assistance from the WFP. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

IDPs in Darfur continue to face difficulties in securing a durable solution to their displacement. Recent developments may offer new hope for some, but complex challenges remain.

Collaborative approaches to building capacities of urban IDPs and host communities are emerging as a more effective way of confronting the root causes of protracted and secondary displacement in informal settlements in Colombia.

On this episode, hosts Tracy and Cullan sit down with geographer, anthropologist, food studies expert, Dr. Elizabeth Cullen Dunn. Dr. Dunn delves into her fascinating experiences studying abroad in Martial Law-ed China, working in a Communist-era baby food factory in Poland, and living and working in camps for victims of forced migration in the Republic of Georgia. Her recent work and activism centers on food workers, refugees, and asylum seekers in the United States and Europe. ABOUT THE GUEST: Dr. Dunn is a professor in Indiana University Bloomington's Department of Geology. Her work regularly merges food studies with politics, focusing on the restructuring and privatization of food labor in Poland, fruit and vegetable processing and smuggling in the Republic of Georgia, and investigations into the red tape encompassing UN Food and Agriculture Organization and European Union food regulations. Her latest book, No Path Home: Humanitarian Camps and the Grief of Displacement, explores how internally displaced persons exist in humanitarian camps in after the 2008 Russo-Georgian War.

Every year for over two decades, thousands of Palestinian citizens of Israel have marked Nakba Day by marching to the site of a different village that was depopulated and destroyed during the Nakba.While the story of Palestinian refugees — 700,000 of whom were driven out or fled in 1948 — is relatively well known, we rarely speak of those who were internally displaced during the war. They remained in what became Israel but were never allowed to return to their homes.This year, the Return March marking Nakba Day was held in one such village, Khubbeiza. +972 Magazine's Henriette Chacar went to the march to hear from participants of various ages what it means to them.See photos from this year's return march.Visit +972 Magazine and follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.The theme music in this episode is by Ketsa.Support the show (https://972mag.com/donate)

Although cross-border displacement affects local communities, international efforts to address it typically take place at the highest levels. How can affected communities make their voices heard in these intergovernmental negotiations? This week, Ravi and Grant sit down with Walter Kaelin, Envoy of the Chair at the Platform on Disaster Displacement and former Representative of the UN Secretary-General on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons. Kaelin has been at the forefront of these intergovernmental processes, and he discusses how they've sometimes generated solutions - and sometimes been detached from them. Displaced is a production by the International Rescue Committee and Vox Media. You can read more about this episode in our show notes.

Evidence matters. Yet even before “fake news” became a political weapon, it’s been notoriously difficult to get evidence into the policymaking process. How can we keep good evidence from being overwhelmed by bad politics? In this conversation, moderated by ABC Radio National journalist Eleanor Hall, three world-renowned experts talk about their experience from the front lines of research and policymaking in contentious areas – climate change, refugees and, where the two meet, climate change- and disaster-related displacement. Professor John Church is Australia’s most credentialled expert on sea-level rise and a long-time research scientist with the government CSIRO. He joined UNSW in 2016 as a professor in the Climate Change Research Centre, so he’s seen Australia’s approach to science and international obligations from inside and outside government. UNSW Scientia Professor and Kaldor Centre Director Jane McAdam is a pioneer in research on climate change- and disaster-related displacement, advising governments and international organisations including UNHCR. In 2017, her work in this field was described as 'transformative' by the jury of the prestigious Calouste Gulbenkian Prize for Human Rights, which she was the first Australian to win. Walter Kälin has extensive international experience as scholar and policymaker, most recently serving as Envoy of the Chair of the Platform on Disaster Displacement (and formerly of its predecessor, the Nansen Initiative on Disaster-Induced Cross-Border Displacement), providing strategic advice and leadership to this state-led process working towards better protection for people in the context of disasters and climate change. Professor Emeritus for international and constitutional law at the University of Bern (Switzerland), he has served the United Nations in various capacities, including as Representative of the UN Secretary-General on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons and twice as a member of the UN Human Rights Committee.

Dr Phil Orchard gives a talk for the Refugee Studies Centre podcast series. In the past two decades, global policy on internal displacement has become a discernible area of activity for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and a range of other international and non-government organizations. It is an area of policy which operates in parallel with global refugee policy, alongside but separate as it is neither as strongly legally or institutional anchored. Its development has been far more ad hoc, incremental, and divided than refugee policy. And yet global policy on internal displacement as both process and product is clearly identifiable. This is reflected in legal developments including the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the African Union's Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (the Kampala Convention). But it is also reflected in practice within the United Nations, including the development of the cluster approach to provide protection and assistance to the internally displaced, and in the basic working processes not only of UNHCR, but also of the Security Council and the General Assembly. This suggests that incremental processes can have long term effects on global policy generally.

At the Cantor Museum at Stanford University Dr. Henry John Drewel's "Mami Wata: Arts for Water Spirits in Africa and Its Diasporas” is up through January 2011. Born and raised in New York City and Hempstead, NY, Dr. Drewal received his BA from Hamilton College majoring in French and minoring in Fine Arts. After graduation he joined the Peace Corps, taught French and English and organized vacation arts camps in Nigeria. It was during his two years in Nigeria that he apprenticed himself to a Yoruba sculptor. That experience was transformative.

Visit www.somarts.org. We close with an interview with Guy Gunaratne/Phil Pachenko/Heidi Lindvall, director/producers of the film, "The Truth That Wasn't There" Sri Lanka/UK, 2010. Cinema verite sylistically, the three friends visit Sri Lanka, post-25 year war where the end May 2009 came without any media coverage. The "students" are given access to areas of the country no one outside has seen. They visit Internally Displaced Persons camps where there are banks, computer labs and job training. Highly subjective, the film explores the countryside where unprepared, the narrators are about as clueless as its audience. However, nothing takes away from the lovely moments in the film, the archival footage inserted for context, a context Heidi says she learned after the fact, the countryside and the mystery, which in the clip I saw, remains unresolved--how did the war end? Was there a huge massacre of the Tamil soldiers by the Sri Lankan government? Are the people on camera really happy? The crew never find out because they are never allowed to be alone with any of the IDPs. "Truth" screens at 4:20, Nov. 6, at the Castro in S.F. Visit www.thirdi.org/festival
