Progress and challenges relating to the human rights of IDPs 2016, para. 70
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Kampala Convention calls upon States Parties to "endeavour to protect communities with special attachment to, and dependency, on land due to their particular culture and spiritual values from being displaced from such lands, except for compelling and overriding public interests". It requires States to "ensure the accountability of non-State actors concerned, including multinational companies and private military or security companies, for acts of arbitrary displacement or complicity in such acts" and to "ensure the accountability of non-State actors involved in the exploration and exploitation of economic and natural resources leading to displacement". International standards relating to the operations of business enterprises, including the 2011 Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, require States and businesses to comply with all applicable laws and to respect human rights.
