Documenting the IDPs in Iraq, the case of “unwanted civilians”

This session will focus on the phenomena of 'perceived affiliation' in Iraq. This includes people who remain displaced and unable to return or assimilated due to their perceived affiliation to ISIL in Iraq. It will explore how we understand this group under IHL/IHRL frameworks, is it possible to mitigate the effects of a perception/stigma and is 'social cohesion' a suitable framework to understand assistance and international support.
