Forced population displacement has become a recurring problem. Driven from their homes by war natural disasters violence and the resulting human rights violations millions of people are now labelled as displaced persons refugees migrants etc. This phenomenon is even more alarming in Africa which alone accounts for nearly half of the world's displaced persons. Mali is not on the sidelines of this phenomenon. In 2012 the country fell into a political and security crisis which had a number of consequences for the security of communities living in areas of tension. This crisis will cause thousands of displacements both within and outside the national borders. This research aims to analyze the mechanisms for protecting displaced persons in Mali. It is addressed to academics NGOs and the entire scientific community. May they make good use of it!
