Integrative or segregative refugee hosting spaces, a matter of human rights

Résumé

In the recent past, the number of people fleeing their countries due to armed conflicts has increased exponentially. When large arrivals occur, hosting countries are often not prepared and opt for potentially improvable solutions. The present monographic aims to expose the violation of human rights that takes place when adopting a segregative approach through two case studies: Azraq, a UN-led refugee camp in Jordan, and a self-settled informal settlement in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon.
Key words: refugees, human rights, camps, inclusion, cities.
