The author provides a detailed analysis of relevant instruments of refugee law and international human rights law, and explores possible future approaches to addressing the phenomenon of environmental displacement, ranging from constructive interpretations of existing norms to the allegedly preferable creation of a multidisciplinary sui generis framework.

At the request of the then Haitian Minister of Women’s Affairs and Women’s Rights, H.E. Adeline Magloire Chancy, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute (RWI), commissioned by the International Legal Assistance Consortium (ILAC), conducted research in the area of gender justice. More specifically and in accordance with the terms of reference provided by the Haitian Ministry, the project focused on the five separate but interrelated areas of: (1) termination of pregnancy, (2) Non-marital cohabitation (customary unions) (3) paternity determination, (4) domestic violence, and (5) rape. This report presents a compilation of examples of ‘best practices’ from various countries in the world, relating to legislation, policy and implementation, giving concrete models within those five areas. Here, ‘best practices’ are referred to as practical, good examples, from which governments and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) in a legislative drafting process would benefit. The report aims at providing tools for the realisation and implementation of international human rights standards. For this reason, the best practices are defined on the basis of those standards.
