Displacement reparation decisions of international and regional (quasi-)judicial bodies (individual & group claims, 1985 - 2020)

Description

Abstract (English)

This dataset draws on the work of nine international or regional human rights courts or quasi-judicial commissions between 1985 and 2020. It gives a systematic overview of over 70 final judgments or decisions which order or recommend reparative measures aimed at remedying displacement (i.e. forced, involuntary or coerced population movement) and/or its consequences. It focuses on decisions in respect of claims by individuals and groups, rather than claims between states.

The decisions were issued by the following human rights bodies: the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AfrCommHPR), African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AfrCrtHPR), European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IAmCommHR), Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IAmCrtHR), the UN Committee against Torture (UNCAT), UN Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) and the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (UNCESCR).
