El presente trabajo se concentra en el estudio del desplazamiento forzado generado principalmente por los grupos paramilitares en el trascurso de los dos gobiernos del Presidente Álvaro Uribe Vélez (2002 - 2010).

La promulgación de la Ley 387 de 1997 en Colombia, funda un nuevo sujeto jurídico que será nombrado, definido y reconocido bajo la categoría "desplazado". Desde la promulgación de la Ley 387 de 1997, “En Colombia, el empleo de la categoría "desplazado" se encuentra usualmente acompañado del verbo ser y no del estar, generando que ser "desplazado" no sea asumido como una situación transitoria de la cual pueden salirse quienes han quedado registrados en dicha categoría sino que, por el contrario, ser "desplazado" comienza a ser asumido como una identidad (Osorio, 2000:177).

Nesse artigo, pretendemos mostrar como um certo ideal de índio permeia as utopias indigenistas do Estado brasileiro e como a política de isolamento, influenciada por esses ideais, apresenta suas idiossincrasias e contradições. Apresentamos um estudo sobre os conflitos recentes na Terra Indígena Vale do Javari (AM) que levaram à morte violenta de índios Korubo e Matis, considerados pelo governo respectivamente como “isolados” e de “recente contato”. Analisamos a história do conflito a partir das narrativas indigenistas e dos indígenas.

The high degree of vulnerability of the displaced population and the low impact of the programs directed towards this population have resulted in the illegal solution of housing problems, generated by the development of low-quality housing neighborhoods. Instead of proposing an evaluation of the housing policy for displaced populations due to violence, the article proposes an analysis of the housing public policy for displaced populations.

This report documents the violent clashes between members of farmer communities and members of herder communities in parts of Nigeria, particularly in the northern parts of the country, over access to resources: water, land and pasture. It also documents the failure of the Nigerian government in fulfilling its constitutional responsibility of protection of lives and property by refusing to investigate, arrest and prosecute perpetrators of attacks.

El documento ofrece un panorama de las agresiones contra los defensores y las defensoras de los derechos humanos y los líderes y las lideresas sociales, específicamente de quienes se dedican a la defensa de los territorios en los departamentos de la región Caribe, cometidas en el período comprendido entre el 25 de noviembre de 2016 y el 30 de junio de 2018.

On 27th August 2010, Kenya’s new constitution was promulgated. This set in place a process of implementation through the enactment of different legislations and setting up of new institutional frameworks as envisaged in the new constitutional dispensation. For the land sector, far reaching legal and institutional reforms are envisaged in Chapter 5 of the constitution. The Chapter on Land and Environment also lays out broad principles through which land and the environment shall be managed.

Secure access to land and secure use of land, for housing-, agricultural- and other purposes is one of the cornerstones of making sustainable, positive development possible. As ZOA provides relief, hope and recovery to people impacted by conflicts and disasters, addressing land rights issues will need to be a permanent point of attention in our work.

Teaser for ZOA's new land rights guidelines developed with input from many of our peers and partners, based on the work done by many others in the field and supported by the Knowledge Management Fund (KMF).

Humanitarian and development organizations working in conflict-affected settings have a particular responsibility to do no harm and contribute to the wellbeing of the population without bias. The highly complex, politicized realities of work in conflict- and post-conflict settings often require quick, pragmatic and results-oriented decisions, the foundations of which remain frequently implicit. Such decisions might follow an intrinsic logic or situational pragmatism rather than intensive deliberation.
