Manoj Kumar Mishra reviews the evolution of India’s policies towards its smaller Himalayan neighbours Nepal and Bhutan. China’s rising profile in the region and growing interaction with all regional states has whetted their appetite for greater independence from Indian influence.

Nigeria’s search for a durable solution to the problem of internally displaced persons so far has resulted only in the drafting of a national policy.

They also investigate the current scenario, where the rights and obligations in the national policy appear to have cohorts in binding treaties and national laws.
