Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 38
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In Africa, the evolution of a regional framework for internally displaced persons has helped to clarify the roles and responsibilities of States. The Kampala Convention requires States to incorporate its provisions into domestic law and to designate an authority responsible for coordinating activities aimed at protecting and assisting internally displaced persons and assign responsibilities to appropriate organs, including cooperation with international organizations or agencies. Ratifying States must adopt measures, strategies and policies on internal displacement at the national and local levels, taking into account the needs of host communities. They must provide funds for protection and assistance and incorporate principles of the Convention into peace negotiations and agreements aimed at finding sustainable solutions to internal displacement.
