Dr. Zaldy C. Collado, Associate Professor from the DLSU Department of Sociology and Behavioral Sciences, has published a topical paper titled "On the Edge of Midnight: The Doomsday Clock and the Global Rise of Conflict-Induced Internal Displacement" as part of the special series on "Internal Displacement in a Changing World Order," led by the Internal Displacement Research Programme at the Refugee Law Initiative (RLI) at SAS, University of London.

This 11th volume in the series on ‘Internal Displacement in a Changing World Order’ argues that the global rise of conflict-induced internal displacement and the Doomsday Clock both reflect the same underlying conditions of global fragility and instability. The Doomsday Clock symbolically represents how close our species is to existential demise, due to a myriad of reasons including nuclear escalation, geopolitical tensions, climate change, biological and technological hazards, and widespread conflict. By contrast, incidents of internal displacement provide an empirical account of how these threats are felt in human terms. In this respect, the significant increase in incidents of conflict-induced internal displacement worldwide manifests the broader risks captured by the Doomsday Clock. This is not a causal relationship. Rather, it suggests that the growth of internal displacement is not merely a consequence of conflicts, but also an indicator of deeper structural failures in global governance and peacebuilding.

Congratulations, Dr. Zaldy! 👏
