Evolution, challenges and trends in internal displacement 2012, para. 32
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Spurred in large part by the need to render the response to situations of internal displacement more consistent, systemic and predictable, the humanitarian reform agenda has had much wider implications and benefits for the humanitarian sector more generally. Even as the humanitarian system reform agenda has widened, it remains important that the specificities of situations of internal displacement and the rights of internally displaced persons not be lost, and that the Inter-Agency Standing Committee and the Emergency Relief Coordinator continue to seek positive advancements with regard to approaches, guidance and structures to respond to the particular needs of the internally displaced. Far from constituting a form of discrimination vis-à-vis other groups, addressing the particular needs and rights of internally displaced persons allows for the articulation of specific prevention and preparedness measures and the provision of tailored assistance, protection and durable solutions to displacement which support States and affected communities more effectively, thereby increasing compliance with international human rights norms and promoting inclusion, stability and security.
