Refugees and displaced persons

During 1992, the world’s refugee population increased by almost 2 million, to 18.9 million. In the post-cold war era, resurgent nationalism, together with the economic and social consequences of the collapse of the old world order, had led to a multiplication of conflicts, many of which also resulted from ethnic, tribal or religious tensions.
