you clearly didnt even read your own source in detail and seem to have just looked for key words to support a stupid theory you have
this document has EVERYTHING to do with refugee’s
are you saying a US citizen cannon be a refugee ?
if texas erupted into large scale domestic conflict forcing people from their homes they become refugee’s. who could not simply be allowed to run across the US in a desperate plea for survival .
in requires them to be CONTAINED , processed into friend and foe and then RESETTLED
which means fucking contained
the document repeatedly uses the term DISLOCATED CIVILIANS which means for the slow kid at the back refugees
DISLOCATED CIVILIAN POLICIES
1-33. DCs who have moved in response to a natural or man-made disaster have the following in common:
z They are unable or unwilling to stay in their homes.
z Their physical presence can affect military operations.
z They require some degree of aid, to include many of the basic human necessities.
1-34. DCs are to be provided humane care and treatment consistent with the Geneva Conventions and
international laws, regardless of the categorization given to them by higher authority.
1-35. Some DCs may be refugees covered by the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and
Article 73, Geneva Protocol I (wherein stateless persons or refugees are protected persons within the
meaning of Part I and Part III, GC). The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees provides a general
and universally applicable definition of the term refugee and establishes minimum standards for the
treatment and protection of refugees, specifying the obligations of the HN and the refugees to one another.
Among the important provisions of this convention is the principle of nonrefoulement (Article 33), which
prohibits the return or expulsion of a refugee to the territory of a state where his life, freedom, or personal
security would be in jeopardy. I/R personnel conducting DC operations that involve refugees will not
repatriate refugees until directed by applicable governmental organizations through the chain of command.
1-36. Refugees have the right to safe asylum and basic civil, economic, and social rights. For example,
adult refugees should have the right to work and refugee children should be able to attend school. In certain
circumstances (such as large-scale inflows of refugees), asylum states may feel obliged to restrict certain
rights. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees assists to fill gaps when no resources are available from
the government of the country of asylum or other agencies. (See the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
Handbook for the Military on Humanitarian Operations.) When possible, units conducting I/R operations
involving refugees should establish provisions for the protection of these rights that are consistent with
military necessity and available resources.
ABUSE OR MISTREATMENT
1-37. All DOD personnel (military, civilian, and contractor) must correct, report, and document any
incident or situation that might constitute the mistreatment or abuse of detainees, U.S. military prisoners, or
DCs. Acts and omissions that constitute inhumane treatment may be violations of U.S. laws, U.S. policies,
and the law of war. These violations require immediate action to correct. If a violation is ongoing, Soldiers
have an obligation to take action to stop the violation and report it to their chain of command.
1-38. All personnel who observe or have knowledge of possible abuse or mistreatment will immediately
report the incident through their chain of command or supervision. Reports may also be submitted to the
military police, a judge advocate, a chaplain, or an inspector general, who will then forward the report
through the recipient’s chain of command or supervision. Reports made to other officials will be accepted
and immediately forwarded through the recipient’s chain of command or supervision, and an information
copy will be provided to the appropriate combatant commander.
all the document is doing is detailing how the different parts of society would be dealt with in the case of conflict on US soil . which happens to include displaced US citizens , militia members , enemy combats that become POW’s.
i find it puzzling that you’re surprised that during a conflict people would be contained and resettled and not allowed to simply roam wherever they liked
