The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)
reports that Chad has become the third African country after Uganda and Sierra Leone to ratify the African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (
Kampala Convention). Normally, you can monitor signatures and ratifications for African treaties by visiting the
relevant page on the AU web site; however, it has not yet been
updated to reflect the current status of the Kampala Convention.
Elsewhere, UNHCR's
Global Appeal for 2011 includes an
updated states parties list (as of 1 Oct. 2010) for the refugee and statelessness conventions. However, the actual signature/ratification dates are not indicated. The best resource to consult for this information is the UN Treaty Office database, which is regularly updated. See
Chapter V: Refugees and Stateless Persons.
