ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the cases where implementation of policies has occurred but where there have been issues with that process for a range of reasons leading to limited implementation. Beginning in 1989, Armenia supported ethnic Armenians in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh against the government of Azerbaijan. In spite of the lack of implementation, the end of the civil war did allow for widespread returns, though internally displaced persons (IDP) continue to face issues around assistance and resettlement. While Mexico has passed strong laws at the state level, their implementation and actions at the national level to provide protections to the country’s IDP population remain problematic. The Federal Government has taken steps forward to provide protection to its internally displaced population, including through a clear draft IDP policy which needs to still be implemented, but its efforts remain limited due to capacity issues.
