This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on internal displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in Asia and the Pacific. It brings the role of disaster risk reduction and management authorities, as well as legal and policy frameworks that regulate their conduct, more into focus than the role of other relevant actors and frameworks. The book highlights how disasters intersect with existing inequalities, which made the pursuit of durable solutions challenging. It draws on the drafting history of the Guiding Principles and examines reports from successive UN mandate holders on internally displaced persons to demonstrate the gradual development of a human rights-based approach to disaster displacement, informed by significant developments in the fields of international disaster law in general and disaster risk reduction in particular. The book considers the complexity of multi-level governance in Indonesia’s decentralised disaster management system. (Less)
