Roadmap for the next three years: thematic priorities of the new mandate-holder 2017, para. 73
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Confronted by the reality of record numbers of internally displaced persons, it is vital for the international community to maintain and intensify its generous efforts to meet the needs and protect the rights of internally displaced persons and to begin to reverse the global trends. The vision laid out at the World Humanitarian Summit for new approaches to humanitarian action is welcome and provides a positive direction of travel that stakeholders should adopt. The focus on internally displaced persons is necessary and timely, and a global target to reduce internal displacement by 50 per cent by 2030 in a safe and dignified manner provides an ambitious yet necessary stimulus. Moving from principles to action will be a difficult task ahead in order to meet this goal. This must be achieved in compliance with human rights law and through the implementation of international standards for the protection of internally displaced persons and the achievement of durable solutions.
