Explanatory note

e.g. in 2018 250 people were displaced by the Ugandan military, because of settling in a nature reserve. Displacing them was in accordance with the nature reserve policy, but not in accordance with the Kampala Convention, which does not distinguish between displacement caused by overpopulation or merely by conflict.
