"Legal protection gap"

The cross-border displaced people not formally entitled to admission or stay in a third state country, a situation that has been identified as as international "legal protection gap". 
The study seeks to provide answers to two basic questions: whether and to what extent existing international law protects cross-border environmental displacement, and whether and how existing formalized regional complementary protection standards can interpretively solidify and conceptualize protection for cross-border environmental displacement.
