A Troubled Year
The Introduction to this report focuses on the expulsion of Haitians and Dominico-Haitians from the Dominican Republic between the months of June and September 1991, coercive labour practices on sugarcane plantations, progress since the 1991 harvest, and the stance of the United States. The first section of the report deals with forced 'repatriations', including the Presidential Decree 233-91 which promised reforms in the treatment of sugarcane workers, the arbitrariness of expulsions, the failure to recognize Dominican citizenship, and the widespread abuses during roundups of Haitians.

Fu-Fu-Fu-Frank!
Growing up when your body and mind insist on performing things that are far from normal must be like a hell on earth. Frank developed Tourette Syndrome before the disease was recognized as a physiological ailment, and eventually inherited all of its complications. After many admissions to hospitals where he was treated as a psych patient, he was finally admitted to New York Hospital and diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Some victims of TS have very mild symptoms, such as an occasional twitch, eye blinking, or throat clearing. Franks severe tics in the form of loud barking noises, body twitches, picking at his skin, or poking others, plus ADHD, OCD, coprolalia (constantly using obscene language ), echolalia (repeating sentences and words over and over), all led to a life filled with experiences that most of us could not imagine. Through this book he has relived some of those events, and explains that he would probably have committed suicide if he had not believed such an action would condemn him to hell foralleternity.You will laugh and cry as you read his story, and obtain a better understanding of Tourette Syndrome or anyone afflicted with similar disorders.

Masses in Flight
Since the end of the Cold War, increasing numbers of people have been forced to leave their homes as a result of armed conflict, internal strife, and systematic violations of human rights. Whereas refugees crossing national borders benefit from an established system of international protection and assistance, those who are displaced internally suffer from an absence of legal or institutional bases for their protection and assistance from the international community. This book analyzes the causes and consequences of displacement, including its devastating impact both within and beyond the borders of affected countries. It sets forth strategies for preventing displacement, a special legal framework tailored to the needs of the displaced, more effective institutional arrangements at the national, regional, and international levels, and increased capacities to address the protection, human rights, and reintegration and development needs of the displaced.
