Title: Fears and expectations of Colombian displaced people
Abstract: This article explores some aspects of the Colombian
s ystem of protect ion of inter na lly displaced per sons �
desplazados- and goes on to describe the magnitude
and causes of the population�s forced displacement.
A displaced person is like an internal refugee in
that he is forced to migrate, for different reasons,
but without having crossed any international
borders. The author will focus on the Colombian
State responsibility to protect displaced persons, to
underline how the system of protection is formally
implemented, underpinned by the Constitutional
Court -Corte Constitucional- and how it creates
expectations for a displaced person to be integrated
and to establish a new life. Moreover this article will
seek to identify and analyze structural problems that
have hindered the integration of displaced people in
Colombia, the fear of being registered as a displaced
person and subsequently becoming �visible� in front
