  Population transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Population transfer is a term referring to a policy by which a state forces the movement of a large group of people out of a region, invariably on the basis of ethnicity or religion.
Often, the affected population would be transferred to a region not adjacent or even suited to their way of life, the transfer would be forced, and would cause them substantial harm.
Population transfer differs more than simply technically from individually-motivated migration, though at times of war, the act of fleeing from danger or famine often blurs the differences.

The second is a completion of the population exchange that began before 1948 when nearly a million Jews were expelled or "encouraged" to leave Arab lands and (despite Arab and British obstruction) settled in Israel.
Without completion of the population exchange -- transfering the Palestinian Arabs and settling them in neighboring Arab lands -- Israel will find herself in exactly the position she is now -- besieged by implacable internal enemies who frankly consider the Jewish State a monstrosity to be totally destroyed.
An enforced population transfer was fairly standard policy of the Babylonians and Assyrians -- they would enslave the conquered, transfer most of them to a distant point in the empire and replace the population with another group, usually those with a longer history of loyalty.

The final report  ( http://www.unhchr.ch/huridocda/huridoca.nsf/(Symbol)/E.CN.4.Sub.2.1997.23.En?OpenDocument) of the Sub-Commission (1997) invoked a large number of legal conventions and treaties to support the position that population transfers contravene international law unless they have the consent of both the moved population and the host population; moreover, that consent must be given free of direct or indirect negative pressure.

 The human rights dimensions of population
Population transfer has been conducted with the effect or purpose of altering the demographic composition of a territory in accordance with policy objectives or prevailing ideology, particularly when that ideology or policy asserts the dominance of a certain group over another.
The subject populations commonly originate from a neighbouring State or territory, and the arbitrary, abrupt and mass nature of the expulsion is incompatible with due process requirements for the deportation or expulsion of legal entrants.
In any event, the ultimate disposition of the implanted population and its descendants and their relationship to the successor government of the formerly occupied country involve a number of human rights issues that may be guided by current and emerging international law pertaining to "good governance" and individual and group rights.

 Greek and Turkish refugees and deportees 1912-1924
The country, which had a population of only 5.5 millions was faced with an influx of about 1.2 million people (the actual numbers are surrounded by a lot of uncertainty).
In line with the policies of their predecessors, the rulers of the Committee of Union and Progress, the leaders of the republic saw the homogenisation of Anatolia (which was now a 98 percent Muslim country as opposed to 80 percent in 1912) as a positive development.
In other words: the population exchange was seen as an integral part of the nation-building process and the fact that the homogenisation of Anatolia also meant that the precious skills of an entire commercial and industrial middle class had been lost, was seen as a price that had to be paid for full independence.

Her appearance was sponsored by Justice for Jews From Arab Countries, a high-powered group that plans to raise the profile of the 850,000 Jews who were forced to leave Arab countries in the 1940s and 50s.
In effect, what occured was a population exchange--600,000 Arabs who were made refugees by the 1948 War of Independence and the 850,000 Jews whom Arab governments expelled around the same time.
The result will be the emergence of countries where the majority of their populations will share a common nationality and culture.

Consequently, the answer to the current difficulties in western Eretz Yisrael and the liberated lands of 1967 is not the relinquishing of territory, but the completion of a process that began in 1948.
This process, so rarely spoken of, is the exchange of populations which saw nearly 800,000 Jews, either through expulsion or voluntary emigration, leave the Arab countries they inhabited for as long as several thousand years and come to western Eretz Yisrael.
It must not be forgotten that the national borders that now define the Arab states were imposed by the colonial powers and that the national definition of the Arab is a modern colonial fiction.

 Mutual population exchange   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
But if a political situation does develop in which we have to seriously consider evacuating a large number of settlements and dividing control and sovereignty over the territories with a Palestinian entity, it would be well to consider basing it on a demand for a mutual population exchange.
There are close to a score or more Palestinian villages in crucially important security zones such as the Jordan Rift Valley, an enlarged Jerusalem Corridor, and along the narrow waist of the Coastal Plain, which would be a bone in Israel's throat if they were incorporated into Israel, as part of any future interim agreement.
Israel's acquiescence in the evacuation of many scores of settlements in order to make possible a reasonable measure of territorial contiguity between the different parts of a Palestinian entity should be made conditional on an exchange of populations with the evacuation of those Palestinian villages being traded off for abandoning those settlements.

 Yehuda Shenhav: What do Palestinians and Arab-Jews Have in Common?
(Tsimhoni 1991)( 14) The ambassador reported that the a population exchange was acceptable to Israel in principle, but that the idea of exchanging 100,000 homeless (Palestinian) refugees for 100,000 (Jewish) refugees who would leave their assets behind was read in Israel as mere extortion.
On the question of a population exchange, it was reported in the press, purportedly citing the spokesman of the Survey Group, that the Prime Minister of Iraq has allegedly made such an offer.

I also look upon the funding from the Council of Europe to set up an exchange programme last year, involving a visit by some of the newest Ombudsmen who came to Hungary to gain an insight into how we go about our daily business as a form of recognition.
Then there is the question of compensation due to those who were forcibly moved in the framework of the Czechoslovak-Hungarian population exchanges, something I have been drawing Parliament's attention to for years now.
Complaints against the police and the investigative authorities likewise remain great in number and I would single out for particular mention the fact that around every fourth or fifth complaint is lodged against local authority offices, against mayors and town clerks.

Most of them are Eastern or Greek Orthodox Christians and live in Istanbul or on the two islands of Gökçeada (Imroz) and Bozca Ada (Tenedos), off the western entrance to the Dardanelles.
They are the remnants of the estimated 200,000 Greeks who were permitted under the provisions of the Treaty of Lausanne to remain in Turkey following the 1924 population exchange, which involved the forcible resettlement of approximately 2 million Greeks from Anatolia.
Beginning in the 1930s, the government encouraged the Greeks to emigrate, and thousands, in particular the educated youth, did so, reducing the Greek population to about 48,000 by 1965.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has suggested a willingness to trade some Israeli-Arab population and land to the Palestinians in return for the land upon which Jewish settlers live in the West Bank, a senior Israeli official said Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Sharon was quoted in the Maariv daily newspaper as saying he is examining a possible population exchange with the hope of drawing a border between Israel and a future Palestinian state.
The senior Israeli official said on condition of anonymity that exchanging populations is "an old method that has been used elsewhere."
