Achieving durable solutions for internally displaced persons in urban settings 2014, para. 35
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The absence of the rule of law is aggravated by ineffective local authority and policing. The lack of security of land tenure, extinct tenancy agreements and/or the absence of other forms of user rights further expose internally displaced persons to the risk of (forced) evictions and therefore to secondary displacement, which results in increased protracted displacement and significantly hampers durable solutions. Forced eviction of urban internally displaced persons, without providing alternative housing and without recourse to legal remedies, is an increasing phenomenon of urbanization and urban planning and upgrading initiatives. As noted above, urban planning must be combined with the durable solution needs of internally displaced persons and displacement-affected communities in urban areas.
