A/79/334 the country. Special efforts should be made to ensure the full participation of internally displaced persons in the planning and management of their return or resettlement and reintegration (see principle 28). Peace processes provide an opportune moment and a venue through which competent authorities can fulfil their responsibilities to enable durable solutions for internally displaced persons. 10. At the regional level, under the African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (Kampala Convention), which provides a comprehensive framework for the prevention of internal displacement, protection and assistance to internally displaced persons and for enabling sustainable solutions to internal displacement, States parties are obliged to incorporate the principles of the Convention into peace negotiations and agreements in order to find sustainable solutions to internal displacement (art. III (2) (e)). The Kampala Convention also includes a specific provision on reparations for internally displaced persons for damage incurred as a result of displacement (art. XII). The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has adopted a recommendation under which, while non-binding, States members of the Council of Europe are committed to applying the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and in which existing member State obligations that could be applied to protect internally displaced persons are emphasized. Case law under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention of Human Rights) has been interpreted to address various aspects of peace and transitional justice, notably housing, land and property issues. 12 11. In its Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee emphasizes that restoring the human rights of internally displaced persons is a core component of ensuring that solutions are truly durable. The restoration of those rights may include reparation, justice, truth and closure for past injustices, through transitional justice or other mechanisms. Durable solutions are also conceptualized in the Framework as a peacebuilding challenge, given that after conflict and generalized violence, durable solutions may not be possible without stabilization. 13 12. According to the Framework, a rights-based process to support durable solutions should at least indirectly involve internally displaced persons in peace processes, to ensure that their rights, needs and legitimate interests are addressed in peace agreements and peacebuilding strategies, which inform strategies for durable solutions. The participation of internally displaced persons in peace processes should reflect their full diversity. Humanitarian and development actors should advocate and enable their participation through, inter alia, training and community development. 14 The Framework contains a call for full and non-discriminatory access to effective remedies, justice and transitional justice mechanisms for those who have been victims of violations of international human rights or humanitarian law, including arbitrary displacement, indicated as criteria for durable solutions. 15 13. In the Framework, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee cautions that, although peace agreements may contain a policy of preference for one durable solution, individual choices must still be respected, as the principle of freedom of movement remains valid. Durable solutions should be a specific goal of peace agreements, which should address the specific needs of internally displaced persons, including safety and security, housing, land and property issues, reconciliation and peacebuilding, post __________________ 12 13 14 15 24-15773 Costas Paraskeva, Protecting Internally Displaced Persons under the European Convention on Human Rights and other Council of Europe Standards: A Handbook (May 2017), chap.
