Abstract
Nigeria has been facing the issue of insurgents and banditry since 2004 and this has caused thousands of Nigerians to flee from the ructions of this unrest. The fleeing Nigerians around borders areas move to neighbouring countries to seek refuge but greater numbers are internally displaced. Internally displaced persons in Nigeria are usually at the whims and caprice of the government of Nigeria without external regulatory body. Although this is common to all IDPs cases in the world as there is no international instrument designated to monitor its operations, the IDPs need effective monitoring as refugees in international protection law. This study examines the confluences between refugee law and the incidence of IDPs with a view to exploring one aspect of refugee law, namely, the application of cessation clause, to IDPs and proposes that its application to IDPs can prevent abuses inherent in IDP operations by either the institutions in charge of managing IDPs or by IDPs. This is an exploratory study and it is hoped that further studies can explore the international protection law to bring relief to the IDPs.
