Abstract: The Nigeria-Biafra war contributed to the rise of post-colonial moral interventionism, ushering in a new form of human rights politics. During the war, relief agencies evacuated 4,000 children from the conflict zones to Gabon and Côte d’Ivoire to protect them from the conflict. This was part of a broader international humanitarian airlift operation that brought relief supplies to the besieged Biafra territory. At the end of the war, most of the children were returned to their homes in Nigeria through an international humanitarian repatriation effort. Ibhawoh examines how state interests and the politics of international humanitarian interventionism manifested in debates about classifying and protecting displaced children, the most vulnerable victims of the conflict.

难民、撤离者和遣返者:比夫拉儿童、难民署和尼日利亚内战中的国际人道主义政治

摘要:尼日利亚-比夫拉战争促成了后殖民道德干预主义的兴起,开创了一种新的人权政治形式。战争期间,救援机构将 4,000 名儿童从冲突地区疏散到加蓬和科特迪瓦,以保护他们免受冲突影响。这是更广泛的国际人道主义空运行动的一部分,该行动将救援物资运送到被围困的比夫拉领土。战争结束时,大多数儿童通过国际人道主义遣返工作返回尼日利亚的家中。Ibhawoh 研究了国家利益和国际人道主义干预主义的政治如何在关于对流离失所儿童进行分类和保护的辩论中表现出来,这些儿童是冲突中最脆弱的受害者。
