Dr Bríd Ní Ghráinne is an expert in the Law of Forced Migration, particularly on the topic of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), which refers to the (estimated) 71 million people who have been forced to flee their homes but who remain within their states. The complexity of reasons for which IDPs flee has meant that her research spans refugee law, human rights law, humanitarian law, disaster law, law of the sea, as well as general Public International Law. Bríd has published widely in these areas in leading journals such as Human Rights Law Review, International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Legal Studies, Refugee Survey Quarterly, and International Journal of Refugee Law. Her book entitled 'Internally Displaced Persons and International Refugee Law' was published with Oxford University Press in 2022. Her second book, 'Safe Zones in International Law', will be published with Oxford University Press in 2026.
