This study builds on an international conference co-organized by Geneva Call and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) in 2011 to further explore the dynamics at play between armed non-State actors (ANSAs) and the phenomenon of displacement, both internal and trans-border. It also provides an overview of the legal and normative frameworks applicable to ANSAs in displacement contexts and a mapping of current engagement efforts with ANSAs to protect displaced people. The research highlights that in many conflict situations, displacement is not a deliberate strategy but a by-product of the conflict or of other drivers, such as natural disasters.
