Introduction: The response to the 2006 crisis in Timor-Leste situated in policymaking on internal displacement

Crisis-related internal displacement continues to be a phenomenon of significant scale. In its latest global overview on internal displacement, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) reports that, at the end of 2010, “the number of people internally displaced across the world by armed conflict, generalized violence and human rights violations reached 27.5 million”. Also in 2010, an estimated 42 million people were forced to flee due to disasters triggered by sudden-onset natural hazards, with the large majority remaining internally displaced.
