The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 78
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The adoption of the Kampala Convention represents a significant advance in standard setting for the increased protection and assistance of internally displaced persons. While the Convention is related to internal displacement in Africa, the standards and guarantees it sets are international in character and can serve as good practices for other regions of the world. The commemoration in 2014 of the thirtieth anniversary of the Cartagena Declaration on Refugees could be a fruitful opportunity to consider how regional cooperation may be further expanded to enhance protection and assistance for internally displaced persons in regions such as the Americas, building on the experience acquired in the development and implementation of the Kampala Convention.
