There is an indisputable correlation between armed conflict and displacement. Armed conflict and internal strife are widely considered to be major causes of population movement, within and outside borders.1 As observed in the 2005 Human Security Report: For four decades the number of refugees around the world has tracked the number of armed conflicts – growing inexorably, though unevenly, from the 1960s to the early 1990s, then falling commensurably as the numbers of wars declined in the 1990s.2 At the end of 2010, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) recorded some 43.7 million people displaced worldwide, as a result of armed conflict or persecution, the highest in more than fifteen years.3 According to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), displacement in 2010 was mostly caused by conflict between governments and armed groups, or by generalized violence.4
