Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 29
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Subsequently, and as part of the United Nations reform of 1997, the General Assembly explicitly tasked the Emergency Relief Coordinator to take on a central role in the inter-agency coordination of protection and assistance to internally displaced persons (see A/51/950, para. 186). In December 1999, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee adopted the policy paper on the protection of internally displaced persons submitted to it by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Francis Deng, thereby representing an acknowledgement by the heads of the various United Nations agencies that the protection of internally displaced persons was "of concern to all humanitarian/development agencies", and establishing the "collaborative approach" as the main vehicle for the inter-agency response to the needs of internally displaced persons.
