In Latin America, recent years have seen an unprecedented rise in the number of people forced to flee from their homes due to the activities of organised criminal groups. What are the reasons behind this emerging crisis of forced displacement in the Americas? Who are these criminal groups and how do they operate in Central America, Mexico and Colombia? Who are the victims and how can their needs be met in these violent and insecure contexts? Can law and policy offer a humanitarian response to this crisis? As the first book to deal with this rapidly evolving phenomenon, this innovative collection offers a range of fresh perspectives from leading experts working across Latin America.

David James Cantor is the director of the Refugee Law Initiative and a reader in Human Rights Law at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. David is an ESRC Future Research Leader and has undertaken extensive fieldwork on refugees and displaced persons in Colombia, where his work has influenced law and policy, as well as in other countries in the Andean region, Central America, Southern Cone, and Mexico. He has trained and advised governments across the globe, contributed to UNHCR and Nansen Initiative expert meetings, and runs a new distance-learning MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies.
