Abstract

From  the  point  of  view  of  human  rights,  forced  displacement  does  not  mean  the violation  of a specif ic right, but the multiple,  massive  and continuous  violation  of many fundamental rights. This phenomenon attacks the displaced person’s ownership of the rights. This attack,  in most cases,  is caused  by the displacer,  and sometimes  by the State.  It is the State that has the primordial obligation to pay the necessary attention to the displaced person  and provide  comprehensive  protection  to halt the violation  both of human  rights and humanitarian  law, while taking  into account  the different  contributions  and research that international  organizations  working in this regard provide on the case.
