Summary

It might be valuable to start briefly with my own preluding research story, which commenced as of September 1, 2009, when Displacement Solutions hosted my research project on an important element of rights redress and remedy, namely the protection of the rights to housing, land and property (HLP) of refugees and all otherwise displaced persons. The idea was also to work out the global legal human rights protection texture in place for displaced persons at large with regard to the protection of the rights to HLP, to restitution and in case of impossibility as a legal notion, to restitution in lieu. The present analysis focused on the only two existing authoritative sets of standards (i.e. the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement adopted in 1998 and the UN Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons (Pinheiro Principles) endorsed in 2005, which were examined in the ) in order to assess also how far climate displaced persons are granted human rights protection.
