IDPs in Colombia

Two recently issued papers on IDPs in Colombia:

Colombia: Government 'peace process' cements injustice for IDPs. A profile of the internal displacement situation (30 June 2006) [text]
- From the IDMC.

Colombia: internal displacement - policies and problems (June 2006) [text]
- A WriteNet paper.

For comparison, I did some searches in ecoi.net's re-designed site. The WriteNet paper isn't in their database yet, but the IDMC profile is. However, it did not appear in my search results for IDPs in Colombia. That said, other recent information was retrieved; some examples:

Colombia : Voices of the displaced in Pasto (17 July 2006) [text]
- From Refugees International.

The role of young IDPs as child soldiers (17 July 2006) [text]
- From the Colombia Journal.

Colombian laws and framework to assist IDPS are good, but their non-application affects enjoyment of rights, UN expert says (27 June 2006) [text]
- From OHCHR.

The moral of the story is, if you are undertaking comprehensive research, use a variety of information tools and resources to cover all your bases.
