The protection of displaced persons across international borders in the context of climate change and natural disasters

الملخص EN

The purpose of this study is to highlight the protection of displaced persons across international borders in the context of climate change and natural disasters.

International reports assessments warned about the gravity of the situation from the continued flood of these displaced persons.

The victims of this challenge are excluded from any form of protection under international law, compared with other displaced persons owing to other factors for displacement.

Otherwise a general protection is afforded to this category of persons by human rights law, environmental law, humanitarian law, in addition many mechanisms adopted in this area.

It has been proved that neither the general protection afforded by the different branches of law cited above, nor the mechanisms of protection adopted are susceptible to fill the protection gap in international law.
