Rights in exile: Janus-faced humanitarianism

Of the 12 million refugees in the world, more than 7 million have been confined to camps or segregated settlements, effectively warehoused, in some cases for 10 years and more. Refugee camps have become wards of the international community, a community that too often holds itself above serious scrutiny, sometimes even above the law, infringing the fundamental rights of refugees it should protect as well as the sovereignty of host countries. Rights in Exile is about the practice of human rights law and the encampment of refugees.
