This book examines an issue of major importance within the framework of international human rights law. The response to the problem of vast numbers of internally displaced persons is an area that has evolved significantly in recent years and which has, to date, been the subject of relatively little scholarly literature.

The author presents a systematic review of the role of treaties in international law and seeks to demonstrate that their importance is today somewhat overstated given the extent to which States and other organizations tend to resort to more flexible means of standard-setting in order to promote respect for human rights.

Rather than drafting hard treaties, States have taken relevant provisions of international law and consolidated them, eliminating any gaps and grey areas through a `soft' restatement of existing norms in the form of the `Guiding Principles'. In so doing, the limitations of treaty-making have been avoided but use has also been made of a broader range of expertise and the mobilization of a wide range of players to support the process.

As this text demonstrates, the collaboration of various governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental representatives can result in an instrument which may be broader in scope and more progressive in content. If reinforced by suitable implementation measures, it can be even more effective than a treaty in regulating States' activities..
