In 2006-2007, there were appoximately 7 million <strong>Palestinian</strong> refugees<br />
<strong>and</strong> 450,000 internally displaced <strong>Palestinian</strong>s representing 70 percent<br />
of the entire <strong>Palestinian</strong> population worldwide (10.1 million). The legal<br />
status of some 400,000 additional <strong>Palestinian</strong>s is unclear, but they too<br />
are likely to be refugees.<br />
The Survey provides an overview of the case of <strong>Palestinian</strong> refugees <strong>and</strong><br />
IDPs, which constitutes the largest <strong>and</strong> longest-st<strong>and</strong>ing unresolved<br />
case of refugees <strong>and</strong> displaced persons in the world today.<br />
The Survey endeavors to address the lack of in<strong>for</strong>mation or<br />
misin<strong>for</strong>mation about <strong>Palestinian</strong> refugees <strong>and</strong> internally displaced<br />
persons, <strong>and</strong> to counter political arguments that suggest that the issue<br />
of <strong>Palestinian</strong> refugees <strong>and</strong> internally displaced persons can be resolved<br />
outside the realm of international law <strong>and</strong> practice applicable to all<br />
other refugee <strong>and</strong> displaced populations.
