African Studies Political Science International Law International Relations refugeeism international norms gender-based violence Kenya This thesis will examine the East African nation of Kenya and how its policy regarding the northern refugee camps of Dadaab and Kakuma relates to the policies of international organizations such as the United Nations and African Union. In doing so, this thesis will focus specifically on the effects that international norms such as repatriation have on refugees in these camps who face gender-based violence. In this analysis, questions of the role and limitations of civil society within Kenya in addressing the issue of gender based violence are addressed. From this research it can be concluded that refugees facing gender-based violence in Dadaab and Kakuma will benefit from a shift in Kenyan policy away from its current application of international norms, the implementation of the more human rights conscious policies of the African Union, and Kenya's reconsideration of its responsibility as a host country. 2014-06-11 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1398186042 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1398186042 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
